Last Wednesday, just before the start of the
conferences, participants had the chance to be part of a day excursion that
visited places that where part of Alexander von Humboldt life during his youth.
While listening to amusing stories about his life before becoming the great
scientist that we all now, everyone was delighted with beautiful landscapes
covered with snow. The excursion included visits to forest and mining areas in
the Fichtelgebirge and Frankenwald mountain ranges.
Although it was a very cold day
for an excursion, the participants enjoyed short hikes in different parts of
the route; one in particular will be hard to forget. As the temperatures
dropped down, a short hike in the area of Bad Berneck took place; this is when
all assistants introduced themselves and enjoyed short conversations as they
walked their way to a famous cave in the area. Here, there was a wonderful
surprise awaiting: some hot coffee and tea have been served and was secretly
waiting for the hikers! Here they all recharged the batteries with some hot
coffee and continue the adventurous ride!
