The Lindenhof, Zurich, Switzerland
The Lindenhof, in the old town of Zürich, Switzerland, is the historical site of the Roman castle, and the later Carolingian Kaiserpfalz. It is situated on Lindenhof hill, on the left side of the Limmat at the Schipfe.
In 1747, a second-century Roman tombstone was discovered at the site, bearing the oldest attestation of Turīcum, the Roman-era name of Zürich, as STA[tio] TURIC[ensis], at the time a tax-collection point. The castle remained intact during the early phase of Alemannic immigration in between the fifth and sixth centuries, but was derelict by the ninth century, when it was rebuilt as a residence for Louis the German. It later became dilapidated and used as a source of building stone by the 13th century.
The Lindenhof remained a place of civil assembly into modern times. In 1798, the citizens of Zürich swore the oath to the constitution of the Helvetic Republic on the Lindenhof. In 1851, the Modestia cum Libertate Masonic Lodge (established in 1771) bought the residence Zum Paradies and built a masonic building on the southern side of the square. In the early 21st century, it serves as a recreational space, a green oasis, and automobile-free zone in the old historic city centre. Its elevated position makes it a popular location for tourists to get an overview of the geography of old Zürich.

The Danakil Depression is among the hottest places on earth in terms of year-round average temperatures, one of the lowest and most remote places on the planet.
Sulfur springs, brine and acidic liquid, temporary geysers which are forming cones of salt... all form a very unique landscape.

Na deze stenen brug over de rivier Ton, ten zuidwesten van Ethe, is het baanlichaam afgegraven. Sportvelden en parkeerplaatsen kwamen ervoor in de plaats. De fietsers moeten hier dan ook een ommetje maken om de rit naar Marbehan op het oude spoortracé te kunnen vervolgen. Aan de noordoostzijde is in het oude baanlichaam nog een kleine stenen onderdoorgang aanwezig (Rue des Acacias). De foto is van 7 mei 2007.
