Fruit, vegetables and street curling |

The "Old Country" is located southwest of Hamburg and its "capital" Jork can still easily be reached by public transport. The old marshland was dyked and made fertile as early as in the 12th Century. Today, quality products from this fruit and vegetable paradise are delivered to places far beyond the greater Hamburg area. A good time for trips is late spring when the seemingly endless orchards are in full bloom and then again during the harvest season. On the first weekend in May there is a "blossom-festival" in Jork, including a parade with the new "Fruit Blossom Queen". In winter a form of curling on the orchard paths is a popular hobby around here-of course you need some fruit wine to keep warm. Review © 2009, Wcities |
