Weekend to the Vulkaneifel (Germany)

During the weekend of June 18 and 19, 2022, I organized an astronomical weekend for VVS Capella and Murzim to the Eifel in Germany.  It was a lot of fun to enjoy a trip with our friends in the very nice weather. Geysir Andernach Our first stop was at the cold-water geyser in Andernach, the highest cold-water geyser in the world.  We first received a small introduction, and could visit the very nice and modern museum for about one hour.  We then stepped to the boat for a small trip on the Rhine before we arrived at the geyser.  Just after we arrived, we could witness a nice geyser eruption of at least 50 meters high.  Very spectacular!  After the eruption, we could walk right to the foot of the geyser, and just when we were returning to the boat, we were surprised by a second, smaller eruption.   Eruption of the Andernach Geysir Eruption of the Andernach Geyser Wallender Born Brubbel After a nice meal in the center of Andernach, we drove to Wallendorf, to see the Wallender Born Brubbe
