Last year's #bicycle tour went around #LakeConstance, and it took some time to compile the #organictraveller's #travelguide going with it. But here you are, well in time before the start of the spring #bikeseason: a few suggestions for #organic food places in #Friedrichshafen and around: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-friedrichshafen
If you still want to have #dinner at #Michelin decorated #organic #restaurant #Credo in #Trondheim, you have to hurry: The place is going to move to #Oslo's #Nasjonalbiblioteket. Here are the latest updates to the #organictraveller's guide to organic food in Trondheim: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-trondheim-restaurants-cafes
#Winter is the season for hearty local #soulfood, and it's good to see that a number of #Bavarian #restaurants in #Munich are using #organic ingredients. Here's a list, in good time for the traditional strong #beer season: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-restaurants#german
The alternative to gravity bins and refill stations are pre-filled returnable #deposit glasses, and some #organic #supermarkets have been significantly increasing the number of these products in their shelves. The #VorwerkPodemus supermarkets in #Dresden are among them, extending the range of their own farm products: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-dresden-supermarkets
In #Dresden, only one of formerly three #packagefree #supermarkets is left, but fortunately the local #organic food #cooperative VG with its many organic supermarkets (and also other organic supermarket chains) allow you to buy dry food (and sweets!) in your own containers. Here's the updated #organictraveller 's #guide to #zerowaste #shopping in town: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-dresden-zero-waste
If you want to take a #bike with you on #German #ICE #trains you're usually well advised to secure the ticket many monthes in advance. Not so now, during the busy travel season around #christmas : Easy as pie to get a #DeutscheBahn #biketicket even on highly frequented long distance trains.
Mind you: Having your own bike with you at the highly compatible price of 9 EUR inside Germany saves a significant amount of transportation costs at the destination.
Little time when changing trains and hungry? At #Leipzig #Hauptbahnhof there's no need to compromise on the quality and the #carbonfootprint of hastily grasped #food as there's an easily accessible #organic #supermarket cum #cafe on ground level: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-leipzig-main-station
ÖBB Nightjet: Das sind die neuen Ticketpreise
Die ÖBB haben ein neues, komplett dynamisches Preissystem für ihre Nightjets eingeführt. Die Kosten für eine Nachtzugfahrt sind nun nicht mehr vorhersagbar, die Maximalpreise steigen teils erheblich. Besonders deutlich sind die Preiserhöhungen beim Schlafwagen, den die ÖBB damit klar ins Luxussegment befördern. Die „Zugpost“ hat das ausführlich recherchiert …
#Stockholm / #Arlanda #Airport : RC #Café & #Patisserie https://www.rcchocolat.se at terminal 5 next to gate E3 saves lifes with #organic #coffee drinks and sweet rolls while waiting for a heavily delayed flight ( #flyskam compensated using @Atmosfair )
No paper napkins at the #Tollwood #organic #winterfest at #Theresienwiese in #Munich (the place notorious for the Oktoberfest beerfest) - but you can have a returnable, reusable cotton napkin for a small deposit: This festival is the best example for how easy it can be to have fun without #plastics and other unnecessary waste. Open until Dec. 23, 2023 10pm: https://www.tollwood.de/
If you don't speak Portuguese it's not easy to find places offering #organic #food in beautiful (and easily navigable) #Lisbon / #Lisboa. So I hope the following research on location proves helpful: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-lisbon-zero-waste

@jon what baffles me is that one new Nightjet, at just 7 single-decker cars, has capacity comparable to a typical narrow-body airplane.
And just 33 of them, that's 5% of total Ryanair capacity; at 1/10th the airplane efficiency (average speed) they'd only be able to serve 0.5% of demand Ryanair serves.
In order to serve as many passenger-kilometers as Ryanair alone, they'd need to have over a thousand 20-car double-decker trains.
Well, some people think Teslas are sustainable urban transport...

The serious planning for #CrossBorderRail South East Europe has to start with *what rail borders* do I want to investigate
These are all now as pins in the map
https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/crossborderrail-south-east-europe_991708#7/43.619/20.660
The emphasis: ALL the places where lines exist between non-EU countries in SE Europe, external borders of the EU, and a couple of Croatian borders I am missing
Dark blue: must visit
Light blue: either have visited before and don't need re-checking, or are insignificant but could be added

@organictraveller My advice: Next time don't miss Mahlzahn; my #Heidelberg organic bakery of choice since basically forever: https://www.mahlzahn.de/. If you have a bit more time, you could also visit the food coop Appel un'Ei in Neuenheimer Feld, https://appelunei.stura.uni-heidelberg.de/ and nearby the bicycle self-help workshop URRmEL http://urrmel.de.
With my last visit in #Heidelberg five years ago, there's a lot to update on the #organictraveller 's #travelguide. Unfortunately my recent stay was very brief, but here's at least an updated #sustainable #shoppingguide covering small owner-run shops offering durable and socially responsible goods, often #organic and/or #fairtrade : https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-heidelberg-shopping
It's #bicycle time today, on the last #Friday of the month: Meet up for the #CriticalMass #bikeride through #Munich at the #BayrischeStaatsoper at 6.30 pm, or at the #Bavaria at 8pm, or find the crowd using #CriticalMaps.
Whether you're interested in (not only #marine) #science and #technology, #history or #climate, the city of #Bremerhaven with many #museums drawing on its past and present as a #port is a worthwhile #tourist destination even on bad weather days and during the cold season. Here's where to #eat and #stay if you care about #organic food: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-bremerhaven
