Autumn festival in Barth

by Natalie Kjaergaard

On my last day in Barth, Sunday, there was city festival called “Barther Herbstzauber”.

There were live performances on the streets:

The historical centre of the town was closed for all traffic, even bikes were not permitted. Lots of people were on the streets, enjoying the sunshine and +25C.

The two musicians on the photo below played nowadays hits on those old instruments, it was really good:

There were a couple of scenes set up in different places, and performances were going on all the time.

It was great to experience Barther Herbstzauber, and I wished I could stay longer. I love travelling in general, and it is very rare that I miss home and want to leave. I only recall it to happen when I had too much of unwanted attention from men, travelling in countries where solo female travellers are seen as a sexual target.

I eventually got back to my OY-9797:

Parachute jumpers were enjoying the nice weather, too:

They would be picked up by an ATV in a trailer:

The wind was a bit gusty and across the runway, so I had planned to leave as late as possible. It was also windy in my home airport of EKHK, and I didn’t want to hurry up.

Barth from air:

I did a round over Zingst where I spent such a wonderful day by the sea. Zingst harbour:

And over the beach:

Heading for home, even at 6,000 feet I could feel the wind gusts sometimes. The clouds on the photo below were approaching quickly, and I didn’t want to be caught up in them crossing over the Baltic sea:

Fying over Denmark, I changed my route a bit, to appreciate the beautiful view of the 30 km long Guldborgsund:

The Aviator and The Blue Bear enjoyed the nice views from their seat:

What a wonderful weekend I had in Barth and Zingst! I love travelling alone! 🙂

I believe those two instruments are harmoniums. There was a great harmonium player from Scotland–he’s long passed–but his recordings are still available and his music is still streaming on Spotify. He told crazy stories, sang strange songs, and had a great time doing it.

He even played a tiny part in a Beatles movie. His name is Ivor Cutler, and if you love dark, off-the-cuff stuff like I do, you’ll LOVE his recordings.

Thank you Natalie for sharing your wonderful adventures. I love your spirit, courage, and your incredible sense of adventure. You’re REALLY living life as it should be!! Cheers! Randy

Thank you, Randy. I love hearing your reflections. Just listened to Ivor Cutler “Beautiful cosmos” – what a nice song!

All the best,
Natalie
