In autumn 1998, I lived and worked in Bonn during the last days that this quiet city on the Rhine was still the seat of government. People and businesses where insecure of the future for this city since so many ministries and associated services were moving to a reunited Berlin.
That picture with the Rhine and the Siebengebirge in the background, just stunning. Love the colors and the light. And I'm very fond of the Rhine as well. Planning to hike to the source this summer.
Your pictures make me want to go explore Bonn and hike in those hills. I have to admit that I don't know Germany at all. Never really spent much time there, not even in the border area. Could be time to start exploring.
I had no idea that a third of ministerial jobs were still located in Bonn. I just assumed they all moved to Berlin. Learned something. Thank you! And safe travels. Gute Reise. Bon voyage.
I love the blue "Leave no Trace" map marker. A moment in time it is.
