Happy Winter Solstice


Last Saturday, we celebrated the solstice with bonfires at a Wintersonnwendfeier (winter solstice celebration) at Waldschänke Brückkanal in Feucht, just south of Nürnberg.


The Waldschänke (restaurant) is located in a forest on Brück canal, hence the name, and it was hard to find in the dark. But it was worth it. They had two large fires and one small one for the kids, and they were serving Glühwein, bratwurst, and, of course, beer. It was a nice change from the usual Christmas markets.
