Wandbild - artscreen II
Artscreen II nears completion and hopefully will soon be installed. For the record each 9m x 4m screen uses about 15 litres of acrylic paint and several rolls of kitchen tissue paper. The thin layer of tissue paper is impregnated with acrylic paint on both sides to ensure that it has a good grip on the material and this creates the silhouette effect that is best seen at night when it is back lit. Other than that it is a relatively simple process that only requires a bit of time and patience.

Talblick
This spacious holiday apartment in Sommerberg village can now be rented. It is located not far from the well-known Ski-Hutte restaurant where there is a ski lift servicing a short downhill piste. Cross-country skiing is also big up here at 750 meters altitude with plenty of well-marked routes. We just need a bit of snow and the present temperatures suggest we will not have to wait too long this year. This unique apartment is fully furnished with satellite TV and many unusual features including a garden that drops down into the Enz valley. Apart from central heating the large lounge has an open fire which makes it very cosy as the nights draw in. Down the road is the Sommerberg bergbahn funicular, which takes you on a spectacular 6-minute ride down into Bad Wildbad Spa town where there are all manner of health facilities.
For more information contact the Sommerberg-Hotel. (contact info soon)

Frischer Zwiebelkuchen und Federweißer
.
Der goldene Herbst erreicht den Sommerberg. Die Nächte werden länger, das Wetter wird rauher, die Blätter färben sich bunt und verwandeln den Schwarzwald in ein Farbenmeer. Warmer Zwiebelkuchen und neuer Wein laden zum Verweilen ein!
.
täglich von 11:00 bis 18:00 geöffnetFor the English speaking, Zweibelkuchen can be translated as onion pie or cake and is traditionally served in this region in autumn with new wine. Zweibelkuchen is similar to Quiche but made mainly from onions. New wine is sweet and has more in common with fruit juice than wine but beware there is still plenty of alcohol in it. Come and try it here in the Sommerberg Hotel.
Open daily from 11:00 to 18:00

Sculptures - Skulpturen
Apart from pottery and ceramics it is also planned to display sculptures in and around the Sommerberg Hotel such as the one shown above. The GaleriaVista project which was originally housed in the old Halter institute building will eventually be moving into the hotel in a new exhibition space of approximately 300sqm where there will also be a café and reading room.

Historisches Teinacher Mineralwasser
Im Restaurant schenken wir natürlich unsere Nordschwarzwälder Spezialitäten Teinacher und Hirschquelle (wie meine 99igjährige Tante Mina aus Bad Herrenalb schon sagte, mit der wird man 100 Jahre alt!) Nun habe ich im Fundus 3 mindestens 30 Jahre alte, original abgefüllte und versiegelte (!!) Flaschen Teinacher gefunden! Das läßt das Sammlerherz höher schlagen!

Bergmarkt
The Töpferhaus Hasenmühle have just finished putting up their market stall on the forecourt of the Sommerberg Hotel. The stall will be there over the next few weeks so anyone interested in traditional ceramic crockery, Rommertopfs or decoration pottery should take a look. There are plenty of interesting items to be found and lots of special offers too. Not interested in ceramics?? Then just come up for a cup of coffee and admire the breathtaking view of the Enz valley from 730 meters altitude. We look forward to seeing you.

Töpfermarkt vor dem Sommerberg Hotel
.
Das Töpferhaus Hasenmühle hat für die nächsten sechs Wochen seine Zelte auf dem Sommerberg aufgeschlagen. Es wird Steingut- & Steinzeugkeramik, sowie Hochleistungskeramik CERAM2000 aus den verschiedensten Flecken Deutschlands bis hin aus dem wunderschönen Elsass angeboten. Ein Besuch wird zum Erlebniseinkauf - und mit einem gemütlichen Aufenthalt und einmaliger Aussichtslage auf unserer 730 Meter hohen Terrasse zu einem unvergesslichen Tag! Wir freuen uns auf Sie!

Wandbild - Artscreen II
The second version of the Artscreen gets underway and will feature the old Sommerberg Hotel and outdoor activities typical to Sommerberg. Hopefully it will be finished by the end of September and will be hung in the recess to the right of the first Artscreen. Painting the screen is a slow process because the silhouettes are created by impregnating tissue paper with black acrylic paint. This ensures that when the semi-transparent screen is backlit the silhouettes are clearly visible.

Fungus
After a poor mushroom season last year up on the hill it looks like being a bumper one this year. There are already plenty to be found in various shapes and sizes and if you know where to look edible ones too. The image shows two different types found on the zigzag path yesterday between Sommerberg and Bad Wildbad.
