A Winter Walk in Volksdorf

Yesterday, 16cm of snow fell over Hamburg. Here are a few of my pictures of my morning and afternoon walk around Volksdorf. These pictures do not do it justice - it was just so beautiful! The sun shining high, the snow against tree branches. Walking through all of it felt like I was in a Disney movie with my hood and all! There were times I was the only one around, sometimes, there were dogs, sometimes, there were kids.

Wochenmarkt Volksdorf

I moved to Volksforf a few weeks ago. It's a district in the Wandsbek neighborhood in the northeast of Hamburg. Literally means "people's village" and it has a very lived-in feel where families thrive in a community. It's common to see teens in bikes to and from school, elderly carrying groceries, the middle aged folks sipping coffee at a cafe with a book or an iPad.

But last Saturday, people were on the streets, specifically all over the Wochenmarkt.  As a deprived foodie, I was just thrilled to know that a lot of the food I like is sold in Volksdorf either at supermarkets (more on that on a next post) or at the weekend market. 

This is where all the thundercats are at! 

The closest to fresh fish I can ever have unless I go to the infamous fish market of Hamburg at 5am.
