Mondorf

I used to think that what I needed was a lavish tour in the capital cities of European countries. I mean, most of us would want to travel to places already known to be tourist spots. But, just recently, I realized that sometimes, the most beautiful places are those that are seldom visited. They are hardly spoiled, thus the natural beauty is preserved.

After a week-long stay in Bonn, I decided to take a bus and discover other 'remote' places within the boundaries of the most charming city in Germany. I just felt like I wanted to be in a quiet place. Maybe, I am already fed up with the hustle and bustle of the busy streets. Thanks to the shop owner from whom I purchased my hat, I got the idea of going to Mondorf.

I am sure that you have not yet heard of this place. If you happen to be in Bonn, just take the bus 550, and even before you know it, the door will open for you - welcome to Mondorf. As expected, the place is quite serene. I guess, the reason why few people go is that the main feature of Mondorf is its Jewish necropolis. Creepy? On the other hand, opposite the church that maintains the cemetery is a line of restaurants. It was there that I get to taste the Danish Apple dessert. They also have good locally-made wine, plus the prices are real affordable. By the end of the day, I took the ferry to Rhine. That probably was the most serene time of my German travel. It was so nice I almost fell to a reverie. But, the sight of the German hamlet rooftops are awesome, it kept me awake.
