Did you know there actually is a physical manifestation of all the Disney-like fairy-tale castles? And no, I'm not talking about Disneyland. This one was once really inhabited and for about 150 days even served as a royal residence. Let's visit together one of the most famous European castles, the primary example of historic romanticism, originated in the head of one insane king about one and a half centuries ago. Welcome to Neuschwanstein.
Just a regular guy wandering the world, trying to show you it is not as messed up as it appears :)

Berlin - The Tale of the two cities - TOP 5 Tourist Attractions
Hello guys :)
You know, there are many cities that are somehow divided, displaced in more than one country, some even in more than one continent, but the story of none of them is more touching than the story of the main stage of the world theatre in the 20th century - Berlin.
It is strange... The city does not belong among the most beautiful, it even isn't one of the most ancient, not even in Germany, but the history that was being written here is today part of the breathtaking genius loci of the place. Twice plans for a world war were being assembled here, plans for urban reconstruction of never before seen proportion were being created here and for the next 40 years the city became the symbol of the divided world.

Bielefeld - The city that doesn't exist
Hi guys,
today I am sending you greetings from a place that, according to all accounts, doesn't exist. Now that is what I call a real existential crisis, right? Do you want to hear more? Thank keep reading :)

Paderborn - A little pearl of North Rhein - Westphalia
Hi guys, I am back with my newest post. My company sent
me on a business trip, so I have spent the last 10 hours on several trains
throughout Germany. (Including the famous speed train ICE, however more on that
some time in the future) :) So it occurred to me, that since I have arrived in
Paderborn, it may not be a bad idea to assemble a short article about this
city, even though I can imagine that it is not exactly the number one spot on
you tourist bucket lists. But trust me, this little sweet city still has
something to offer.
