Thursday’s Meeting

Thomaskirche Leipzig, shot from next to Bach's StatueAs a number of readers have expressed interest in meeting up before the Wave Gotik Treffen festival takes place, I would like, to not disperse, to welcome those who are interrested to join me for dinner at Auerbachs Keller on thursday.

Auerbach’s keller, situated right in the heart of Leipzig has a beautiful underground restaurant, serving excellent food at very affordable prices for such an amazing atmosphere. Every year the menu is refreshed,  the drinks enlarged and the staff ever so friendly, setting the perfect mood for this once a year vacation.

For the actual meet-up I convey the area in front of the Thomaskirche, where one can easily spot one another and I generally tend to roam on my first day in Leipzig. After paying respects to the old master, we can, perhaps around half past 6, slowly progress towards the Mädlerpassage where we may descend down into the Large Cellar.

Collective Recreation

 

Crossing the Dolitz-grounds, while scanning the premises for the origin of that distinctive nourishing scent, tasting the local ales while enjoying the peaceful crowds and laid-back atmosphere of the last festival day.

Esoteric Pilgrimage

 

The proverbial path to Leipzig’s lone Kohlrabizurkus, starting from the tram-stop, traversed rather hurriedly hoping to escape the skies and make it into the venue well in time for witnessing a first Draconian concert.
