Sports
-
cross-country skiing
(only a simplified variant of classical style)
-
race biking
Together with my son Helmut I crossed in September 2002 a
part of the Alps from Traunstein
to the Lienzer Dolomiten including
the Großglockner-Hochstraße, which offers a gradient of 12% on 20 km.
O.k., I had to push my bike
for some pieces of the way since the smallest gear was 49:24, but no other cyclers did overtake us.
The left photo, kindly made by Mrs. Barbara Hottner, shows us two in front of the Fuscher Törl
in about 2500 m,
again recreated after the fatigue.
The right photo, kindly made by Mr. Jürgen Brückner,
shows us before the Grossglockner glacier, three hours later.
Before we had the marvellous
down ride from the Hochtor.

On September 30, 2000, there was a meeting of about 50 old cyclists of the late
cyclist club "Einheit Wernigerode".
Some of them are shown here, all about 60 years. I am the little
yellow figure.
Many of the old friends I had not seen for 40 years, but I got on well with
them;
cyclists have a particular form of humour.

The photo shows one of my favourite routes, along the
Mulde river between Weißenborn and Lichtenberg,
7 km from Freiberg. On right hand the Mulde river is visible,
which here still is a creek,
in which trouts and other fishes
are living. One kilometer from here I often see water-ousels.

jogging
(in bad-wheather times)
Garden
We have a little house with a large garden of 800qm. There gardening
is really labour. We love it.
Now we have there many flowers, a peach
tree, grapes and, the newest, a little apricot tree.
Botany
I have a big collection of lantern slides
of central European flowers. For example, one of Limodorum abortivum, an orchid very rare in
Germany.
