"Germany" Germany by daarth

Germany Travel Guide: 66,315 reviews and 156,642 photos

Everybody has to be from somewhere they say. That doesn’t quite apply to myself as I come from many places, a true victim of the modern age where the world keeps getting smaller. One figure that does come from somewhere is the famous Baron von Münchausen. Known as the “biggest liar in the world”, he has his origin in the town of Bodenwerder by the Weser River. There is a museum, and I can recommend reading the “tall” stories about him. The story from the picture goes something like this; He came from battle, and stopped to let his horse drink. Then he started wondering why it never got full. He turned around and saw half the horse missing!!!!

This is a page I will need some time to write. I am half German of blood and have a lot of relatives here.
I have mostly been in the Weser erea south of Hannover.

Last visit to Germany: Dec 1999

I'm off to Germany tomorrow for only a week. Wish I could stay a year. There's too much to see for only a week.
