Lolita Meet: Hessenpark

Hello my dears,

Since I started my new job back in January I have less time to wear Lolita and hang out with my friends. Quite funny that I started to wear it more often to use my free time for thing I like at the same time. Does this even make sense?

Nonetheless, so last weekend I visited two Lolita meet-ups. This post will be about the one on Saturday.
We went to a nearby open air museum about Hesse which was very interesting.

 As always, thanks to Christian Rösch for being there and taking pictures! Everyone looks so lovely.

I wish I would have taken more pictures of the marketplace, but I'm not fond of taking picturs when it's too crowded (and to be honest, I wanted to explore the place and haven't planed to blog about it...). But imagine it like that:
In the midle was the little antique fountain from the group picture above surrounded by rebuilt half-timbered houses with little shops. There were shops for cheese, meat, traditional costumes, a goldsmith, a bakery and two taverns. The bakery carried buns which were as huge as a loaf of bread. I'm not kidding. Beside the bun-loaf I also bought some goat camenbert which is so delicious and creamy!


My personal highlight were the pigs. I totally adore pigs and was super happy. These aren't just pigs, they are kind of special.
It's a local breed called Deutsches Sattelschwein* which was held by farmers in the past. However the farmers changed this breed for less fat breeds. Nowadays customers prefer low-fat meats which leads to the fact that the Sattelschwein is an endangered species. Unfortunatly there are only around 200 breeding-animals left of this breed.
(* I couldn't find a proper translation for the name, but a rough translations could be German Saddle Pig. Why Saddle? I guess it's because of its coloring.)

But there were also other farm animals like goats and sheeps.

Between all the different houses there was one which left a prairie-like and gosthy feeling, due to the half rotten shingles.


This picture amazes me over and over again. My friend just matches the location so well.
































After exploring the museum we went to one of the taverns for late lunch/dinner. There's nothing better than a nice mug of shandy and a salad with potatoes after a warm day in nature. It's so nice that our local community started to go for a proper meal than just for some cake after a meet-up.
