Do you like combining your vacation with a cultural program and a visit to the theater ? The theater is a wonderful way to connect with the local culture and people. The special thing about this performing art is the live event, where you as…
A pleasant hotel experience is due to many factors. By counting them, we often forget the people who contribute most to it – the ones behind the scenes in sustainable hotelsk. Without cleaning staff, house technicians, and kitchen helpers, guests would not feel comfortable.
Are you already in the planning stage for this year’s Christmas menu? First of all, you might think of the usual (German) classic dishes like goose or duck. But perhaps this year you feel like doing something completely different. It does not always have to be meat. There are so many great vegetarian and vegan recipes out there now. Since the bird is certainly not missed 😉
Everyone knows it: we chop fruit and vegetables; we have scooped too much onto our plates or something spoils in the kitchen despite all precautions. Without thinking about it, the waste goes into the organic waste garbage can, on the compost, or if there is…
Our forest has an almost magical attraction for us. The high trees surrounding us suddenly make ourselves and our problems seem tiny. We realize that we are only guests in this unique ecosystem.

Th drink originated in the United States. In the 1920s, soda bars were all the rage, and soda jerks would mix drinks fresh with soda water, milk, ice cream, or egg, depending on the customer’s preference.
Today, cream soda is usually a sweet, carbonated lemonade with vanilla flavoring (though it doesn’t contain milk or cream). In the U.S., it’s often golden brown, but in Japan, there are also pink and green varieties flavored with cotton candy or melon.
In German-speaking countries, cream soda is not a standard supermarket beverage. Instead, it is often only available as an imported product in U.S./U.K. or Asian sections. (Note: Mass-produced brands like A&W (U.S.) and Barr (U.K.) typically contain artificial flavors, colors, and corn syrup.
You’ll have the smallest ecological footprint if you use cream soda syrups that you carbonate or mix with sparkling water yourself.)

Here's an optional tip from the hotel bartender: "If you like it spicy, add a splash of chili or ginger syrup. It gives the lemonade a cool kick that perfectly balances the fruity sweetness."
Garnish & Serve: Garnish with fresh berries, lime slices, and mint leaves. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for an added kick that perfectly rounds out the flavor and enhances the fruitiness.
