A week ago Sonja asked Patricia, Bernard and me if we'd like to join her on a trip to Edersee.
Edersee is an artificial lake near Kassel and as we had not so much rain in that area this year the water outflow was more than the water inflow. The water level now is so low that parts of the villages which were flooded years ago now poke out of the water.
You can see foundation walls of houses, parts of a bridge, cemeteries etc. They call it Edersee-Atlantis.
We started yesterday at 10 am and had to drive about 2 1/2 hours (actually, but there was a lot of construction on the road and we had to detour a lot). We arrived at the lake around 1:15 pm. We walked through the lake (hee hee) to get to a hill. Usually that hill is an island surrounded by water. Sonja told me that the last time she was there she had to take a boat and paddle over.
We really had a good time and were lucky with the weather: it was cloudy but it only rained some drops two or three times. I arrived at home around 7:30 pm, tired but happy.
I took a lot of pictures, here are some of them:

Just finished reading your post and watching your photos while listening to some Counting Crows music. :-)
The pics are really fascinating, I catch myself wondering how to get there to see it myself...
By the way, reading that other post about the book by Leslie Ludy reminded me that I still got the other book by Eric and Leslie Ludy... just in case you missed it already. But as I already finished reading it I could as well bring it when I visit my parents next time. Sure hope seeing you then! :-)

Can't see the photos. :(
Hi Tina, I'm glad you are writing again. I also hope you are feeling better and better each day.
I don't think I have been to Kassel. We drove a rented car from Munich to Frankfurt one year, taking about four days. To Frankfurt we came up the Romantic Road.
From there we went with a tour group over to Berlin an on through Eastern Europe, meandering back to Munich. We headed out through Düsseldorf I believe.
Your post below, for a moment I though you may have been think about me (perfect man).
More teasing, I am married and am much too old for you. :-)
