After the harsh winter, I’m taking advantage of the first sunny, fresh days of the German spring to travel around south Germany. There are only a few cities left that I want to visit in the region. After that I will mark south Germany as done and I will start traveling to northern Germany and the closer countries.

One of the cities I recently visited is Bayreuth. This is a small, romantic city very well known because the important classical musical festival that is held on the city every year. All German cities look the same but each one has different peculiarities. Bayreuth is centered in the person of Wagner and I visited the Wagner house (where he is buried) and the Wagner opera house.

I went to Darmstadt to do my TOEFL examination. I’ve been in Darmstadt several times visiting my friend Clerigo and I know the city. After doing the exam, I went to Heildelberg for a Couchsurfing free hugs day event. It was a lot of fun and I met a lot of interesting people.

I used for the first time the VRN ticket to return to Würzburg. This is a very cheap ticket that only allows you to take the slow S-bahn between cities in the country side. This has been my most beautiful train trip in Germany so far. The local train between Heildelberg and Ostenburken follows a river trough a small valley with tiny beautiful towns. This area is not on the travel guides because there is nothing specially really worth of visiting but the entire region is relaxing and plain beautiful.
