Calm Sunday walk with my girlfriend around Minden including a long break in the "Café im Nordholz", a biological station, which I unfortunately cannot include as a "highlight" (but someone has already created it).
The facility is a feast for the eyes, a natural experience, a break and a café with lots of tasty delicacies all in one. A discovery! …
