Visiting Phantasialand Brühl
Saturday, September 3rd, 2011 | Activities, Reviews, Sites | 1 Comment
It’s been over a decade since I visited this local amusement park – last time I’d been there the Mystery Castle freefall tower was brand new – the interwebz tells me that was 1998
Basically it was a journey into childhood – almost all attractions seem to not have changed a bit since I was a kid. A fun day, but beware if you are too socio-phobic – there a humans out there…
Btw, the sole reason we went to that place was because I invited a friend of mine to go there as a birthday present. Five years ago. Hrhrhr!

Last year we stayed for one night to test our new camping gear (@see Germany is Beautiful – Aggertalsperre). Test run was fine, camp site was pretty awesome. I decided to invite a few friends over for the Whitsun’s holiday 2011. Here a some impression. Reservation for 2012 is already done, 15 people may attend. So if you want to be in make sure you call in early ![]()
Ahhh, Malta! A German Winter’s retreat indeed :)

Here are some random impressions from our UK (well, England and Scotland) 2010 summer roadtrip. A few more words about the trip and what we learned from it can be found at Lisa’s blog. Enjoy!
Germany is Beautiful – Aggertalsperre
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 | Misc, Reviews, Sites | 5 Comments
As some of you might know I’ve been abroad for 7 month, visiting various places and getting to know a lot of interesting spots far far away countries have to offer. Though talking about Germany’s sites doesn’t ring a bell. This is quite a pity and about to change, because me and my wife a.) want to get to know local picturesque places (1-3h driving perimeter) and b.) we are test-driving our new camping gear.
First location: Aggertalsperre Oberbergisches Land, NRW
I “found” this location playing around with Google Earth. First I wanted to visit the Brucher Talsperre, but me and wify couldn’t find a suitable camping ground there. After trying a few more locations (Lingesetalsperre, Kerspetalsperre) I fell back to old habits and googled “kierspe camping”. On of the results was “Campingplatz Stubenrauch“, residing just at the shore of the Aggertalsperre. We decided to drive there, check it out and stay if it was okay, head back home otherwise. We decided to stay and had a fun afternoon, got visited by Rob and Myri, had a pretty good dinner, received great hospitality, used clean and working facilities and popped our tent’s cherry.
Now we are back, the tent is dry and clean, stowed away in the cellar and I can’t wait to get back couching to enjoy some quality PS3 time.
