Path Along the Niers

Paths along a stream are always particularly calming. Here you can hike on a narrow path along the Niers and watch the rubber dinghies.

A place to take a break, right next to the Niers and right in the historic center. Certainly a local highlight. Children can roam around here without worry and experience …

April 12, 2024,Jimi Hendrix in Wachtendonk

Tried and tested chat with friend Ralf through the Niers lowlands south of Wachtendonk - this time with a distinctly musical touch!

A topic today: the pentatonic scale in Jimi Hendrix's music using the "Red House" Blues as an example. Ralf - a very talented guitarist - brought his instrument with him and showed me how he notated Hendrix's composition …

July 28, 2026,Wanderung bei Wachtendonk

Always beautiful again: a walk along the Niers, then through the lowlands of Niers and Nette and finally a stroll through picturesque Wachtendonk. We just never get tired of it.

Topics today: this and that and - once again - the controversy surrounding post-quantum cryptography.

July 10, 2025,Wachtendonk! Wachtendonk!

Another meeting with friend Ralf in Wachtendonk. The program includes a walk along the Niers River and coffee and cake in the historic town center.

Today's topics: How exactly does a gravitational wave detector work? How are we ordinary people supposed to digest the oddities of quantum mechanics when even Einstein mistrusted them ("spooky")? And where did we get that …

Hike with my friend Ralf through the beautiful Niers lowlands, whose full name is "Nature Conservation Area Nette, Niersaue, Niersgraben, Schleck, Aerbecker Bach, Hetzerter Beek, Moorbeek, Langdorfer Beek, and Dorfbeek." Seriously! They extend upstream of the Niers south of the pretty village of Wachtendonk, whose historic center itself is a lovely place for a stroll. A discovery today: Restaurant Büskens …
