This week the Monday Podcast visited the Salt Lounge in Oberursel.  The salt lounge is a place that people can go to, in order to relax and enjoy the salt air.  There is one grotto for families and other for business people.

We talked to the owner Sven Warth about how he came up with the idea, why people go there, and where all the salt comes from.

Each year on 1st May (Maifeiertag) the main road out of Oberursel is closed off for a cycle race which this year was re-named as the “Frankfurt-Eschborn Cityloop”.  This means that for anything up to 2 hours we are unable to get out of our road.  Even the U-Bahn stops running!

The answer, of course, is to either get out early or to stay and watch the race – and the drivers arguing with the police that they need to go somewhere.

My daughter and I opted for the 2nd option this year.  To find out more, listen to the podcast:

This week the Monday Podcast visited the Christmas Market (Weihnachtsmarkt) in Oberursel.  In comparison to last year, there was a lot more to see and better weather as well.

We spent the afternoon there, and the longer we stayed, the more people there were.  It was very busy in the evening.
