Half-timbered everything. Coffee in a square that looks like a model railway set.

Brocken 🇩🇪

Schierke, Germany

Twelve kilometres of steady up. Snow at the top in April. A steam train passed me on the way, which felt personal.

Downhill all the way, a UNESCO old town, and a sausage the size of my forearm to close the account.
