it is one of our treasure. say people. the big arber lake close to teh arber.

the arber is the biggest mountain in the bavarian forest. almost 1500 meter. quite high. and therefore biggest winter ressort so far. i hate skiing and winter but we do not talk about it now.

we talk about the arber see.

next to the see there is a fairytale forest. i can remember going in there when i was younger. was strange, mysterious, a bit ackward. because it was in the forest, in a bit of a valley surrounded with green, dark green forest. littel figures from grimms fairytales in between, telling stories moving slowly pressing a button.

i used to be there a couple of ties recently. it is weird. people are not anymore going in there. kids i guess nowadays are not anymore moving an eyelid seeing it. computers  are taking over.

the fairytale forest is still there. as well as the dark forest, and its drakness, and its storys.

a friend of mine told me a while ago her mum got always scared of the stories we haev, from my area.. they are cruel, horrifying.

i do not know them anymore.

it took me a long time. i never really liked my home. the muntains, teh forest. everything was so sharp and so rough. prefered so mcuh more the flatness of the north, the sweetness of austria, sea, beach everything else.

i love my home now.but nt just because it is my home, but just cause i am fascinated. of this area which is still feels so wild, so withdrawn, so refusing anything around them and trying to get stuck in themselves. and being not able to do other wice.

people say about teh people from my area. the woidler, as we are called, are quiet, stubborn, are not funny and never talk enough. they work hard and live for it.

you need a while to get into tehir community, but then, finally, you are with all you heart.
