Yesterday morning was a sunny one in Göttingen, and although I had planned on staying at home, the bright morning couldn't be ignored, so I rushed into the train, and 40 minutes later I found myself in Alfeld. To my surprise, the sun was gone and I was welcomed by a snow storm, the most inappropiate weather to discover a city. But being positive, snow always makes things look prettier, so I ventured into Alfeld city centre. I had no previous knowledge of the city, I had just seen its industrial skyline from the train, so I was gladly shocked to discover a quaint Altstadt, with cobbled streets and old wooden houses. And a true, quintessential german provincial town.
On the other side of town, the factories packed along the train rails, and one of them, the beautiful 1911 built Fagus-Werk by Walter Gropius. I'll be back to visit the museum and to have some coffee at the lovely, bright cafeteria.
It definitely was one of my favorite excursions so far, because it was a surprising and unexpectedly pleasant one.
