German countryside

May 2014. Last week we were in Germany, in the area of Kassel.
The villages were Furstenwald, Ersten and Calden.

The weather was marvellous for Spring and we had a wonderful time with friends.

Reindeer

At the Tierpark in Sababurg we were invited to the opening of the new Elk lodge. It is made of enormous logs of wood and was very warm and solid.

In the park we also visited the reindeer which were very special.
