November 12, 2025,Runde vom Hbf. Dessau zum Wallwitzsee und Georgiumpark

Surprise – or managed chaos…

On my spontaneously planned hike, starting and ending at Dessau Central Station, the RE7 regional train terminated in Roßlau. So far, so bad; the onward journey was supposed to be made 20 minutes later with the RE51. Buuuut, my RE7 arrived half an hour late…

March 17, 2024,Nur Couch hilft ja auch nicht ...

I recently said, “Awesome, apparently the first winter in 9 years without a cold” ... how naive of me 😂. Just in time for the weekend, the employer-friendly cold put me on the couch. The weekend planning for the bucket, but a lot of sleep and today we went for a walk in the best weather.

April 11, 2023,Wanderung zum Bauhaus Dessau duch den Park

I really wanted to see the BAUHAUS architecture in Dessau. I was not disappointed.
Very groundbreaking..
However, I find houses with ornaments nicer. There's more to look at..
The small parking lot (2h parking allowed) is a good starting point for a hike through the park.
This one is also very beautiful.
Overall a recommendation 👍

February 9, 2023,Georgium & Wallwitzberge

A nice round through the parks of Dessau.
I started at the Georgium. Everything is connected.
That's how I got to the Beckerbruch and the Wallwitzberge, where I could have walked to the Schillerpark and Luisium.
Somehow I finally got the impression when it's at its best... 😊😅
