Wahl Teske Places in Poland: June 2010
http://wahlteskepoland.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wahl Teske Places in Poland. Wednesday, June 2, 2010. By Train from Dresden to Leipzig. We went through Kuhren, the county seat of the area where our Winklers lived before coming to America in the mid 1800s. We also passed through Wurzen, another town linked to our Winklers. We arrived in Leipzig and found the train station (Bahnhof) information desk. They were able to direct us to the city of Leipzig tourist information office just across the street from the station. Leipzig has been known for centuries...

http://wahlteskepoland.blogspot.com/2010/08/monday-june-7-leipzig.html
Wahl Teske Places in Poland. Wednesday, August 18, 2010. Monday, June 7 - Leipzig. On Monday morning we had our usual huge breakfast, then packed the car to head back to Leipzig. We got back into town just in time to turn in the rental car, then walked to the same hotel we had been in earlier. HOWEVER, they were totally booked because of a fair or exhibition for fire and emergency rescue departments. This monument was completed in 1913 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the battle of Leipzig. It...

Wahl Teske Places in Poland. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Sunday, June 13 - Sierakowo and Zegocin. She asked me about a small blue flower and I said it was a cornflower, like in German, then sang a few bars of a german drinking song, Kornblumen Blau. Weronika joined right in and we sang a few other songs as well. She was pretty impressed I knew German songs at all. Anyway, a nice walk to end the day and the start of another leg of this adventure.

Wahl Teske Places in Poland: Thursday, June 10 - Szczecin
http://wahlteskepoland.blogspot.com/2010/08/thursday-june-10-szczecin.html
Wahl Teske Places in Poland. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Thursday, June 10 - Szczecin. So, on to Poland it is. The train tickets from Berlin to Szczecin were incredibly cheap - we can only think that is because not many people make this trip. It is about 100 miles, so not too far and we enjoyed seeing the countryside. Rick Steves advises to do this when you arrive in a town so you know what your schedule needs to be. Started walking in the direction of the tourist office - which would also lead us genera...

Wahl Teske Places in Poland: Tuesday and Wednesday, June 8 & 9 - Berlin
http://wahlteskepoland.blogspot.com/2010/08/tuesday-and-wednesday-june-8-9-berlin.html
Wahl Teske Places in Poland. Monday, August 23, 2010. Tuesday and Wednesday, June 8 and 9 - Berlin. We left our little apartment in Leipzig today and after one more tour through the train station, we headed out for Berlin on the train. The Leipzig train station is quite a sight rivaling some of our best malls here. Lots of shops and all kinds of restaurants. We have eaten at a fish restaurant in the station twice during our combined stays here and the food was very good. Then we noticed tour boats on the...

Wahl Teske Places in Poland: August 2010
http://wahlteskepoland.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wahl Teske Places in Poland. Thursday, August 26, 2010. Saturday, June 12 - Sierakowo, Dolice. After our usual huge breakfast, we decided to go for a walk. Our hosts recommended a walk to a nearby lake, so we took their advice. We were able to walk through most of the village. It is a bit spread out, with what appears to be vacant land between houses (fields not tilled or mown). There are also rose and lilac bushes growing roadside, like there may have been more homes at one time. So, if the Germans were...
