Hi Vicki,
I love your "mini town" pictures, you have quite a few now, they would make a great slideshow showing architecture around the world. I know the parks in Johannesburg and Brussels which have similar models/replicas. Your park is different, there are no fences or barriers around the models. I suppose the vistors are very disciplined, - can imagine kids wanting to climb all over them! R'Rudi
I have just found this site and just registered to this site and I was just wanting to say hello! I am wanting to make contact with people from all over the world as I realise that I have lived, for some time, in my own small world but the world is a much bigger place! Anyway, enough of my ramblings... just saying hi!

... I was pleasantly surprised to see your two pictures of Anger (destination report today) and Hochstaufen (see my old mountain report). I lived there when I first arrived in Europe 1991-93. The air is always so very clean there, I return there often, specially for summer hiking and nights in Salzburg, only about 20km away across the Austrian border! RR
But, er, the Quadriga, the arc you photographed, is in Berlin, but Berlin is a state of its own and not part of Schleswig-Holstein, which is in the North of Germany. ;-)

Yes, I suspect that salt mines are very similar around Europe. What shocked me was the size of the chambers, and knowing that men has actually excavated these areas, like you said, the conditions must have been awful.
On another note, I enjoyed looking at your latest uploaded pictures.
