Bühl was one of my favourite places. It's a small town with about 10,000 people. I went here to visit
my brother (Olaf), who is currently working for Bosch. Bosch has a large factory in Bühl, which is typical for the area, a small town with a large international company factory in the area. Employees work in a nice friendly small town atmosphere, in the middle of a scenic forrest, with a (relatively) large intellectual and multicultural portion of the towns population. The kind of place I'd like to work. Nature hikes a plenty, and being germany, your only a hour train ride away from big cities, and ofcourse, other countries, like France (be that good or bad).
I spent a day wandering through the town and surrounding forrest areas. A very scenic place, little castles dot the landscape and a lot of the local industry is still agricultural. Took some great photos of the scenery, I'm sure the photos speak for themselves about how nice the place is.
More photos of me in Bühl and surrounding areas can be found
here. Theres also the only photo I have of me packing. You get good at it after a while.
