paulinum ~ walking back in time

how crazy is that? three of us met some 30+ years after we left our student dorm paulinum again just to visit our old well known places 😀~ the LMU university, the surrounding streets, the nearby bars + restaurants which changed most over the time ... our student home still exists and functions as a refugee accommodation awaiting massive reconstruction today.

like a student again ...

audimax, auditorium maximum, the biggest lecture hall at the LMU

paulinum, our old students home, rambergstr. 6, close

 to the LMU university witnessed better times before ⏰

3 of us 🍀😊🍀

the bavarian atzinger guesthouse close to the LMU university

 could keep its student character over the years 🍻🍻🍻

highly NOT recommended aka do not visit the place where my munich pictures are stored. it is my still growing 'walking in munich album' with 1,000+ pictures. the sheer number of pictures + years covered would make you feel sick 😱

fischbach castle (zamek karpniki), silesia, PL

wonderful 3 nights stay in hotel schloss fischbach castle (zamek karpniki), lower silesia, PL 😄

this small castle hotel was recommended to me by a colleague because of its really exceptional cousine. i liked not only the food, but also its corridors full of nooks and crannies where we have lost our way so many times, its mini spa with toxic thermal water (do not drink!) + a huge wooden outdoor bath tube + especially the possibillity to use the 3 knight rooms on the 1st floor at night 👾 for games, drinking or working on computer after the restaurant closed its doors at about 10 p.m. 

the nearby city of hirschberg (jelenia gora) and the nice falkenberge hills + hiking paths were also interesting to explore, even if it is a little bit cold outside in january ⛄

medieval place, huge rooms, tasty food
