Taubergiessen (a protected nature area near river Rhein)
« on: May 13, 2008, 08:26:21 PM »
Hi all ,

This morning we made a little walk to the Taubergiessen ( a protected nature area ) -it was the perfect time because there are a lot of flowering orchids .
Sorry but I'm not familar with the names - if anybody knows them ....

Lovely pictures.
I didn't know you also had Lochs in Germany. Is that where we get our word from? Scots folk call our churches 'Kirk' as in German.

Susan :

It means : Blue Hole ( in this part of the rivers Elz are wells which a strange physical quality - directly near the wells grows nothing and a little far are purple algaes .....) this is the reason for this name !
I think the similar language is why have lived in Scottland also celtic people ....
