We are accompanying our visits to Germany with this blog to share some of the experiences and insights we have gained here during the various Best Practice Exchanges starting in 2010

We left London at the crack of dawn on Sunday and arrived to sunny Legenfeld early in the afternoon after trains, planes and buses. On route we passed many wind turbines and photovoltaic installations. Legenfeld is located in the Flolkland region of East Germany. The accommodation is an old rustic German Gaststaette (lodge) set high about the town. Timo, our German host from the institute, gave us a warm welcome and give us our timetables for the week. With the rest of the afternoon free, some of us went walking in the surrounding forests before a hearty traditional meal. The education exchange already started over dinner. The group got to know each other and it is amazing the range and experience of the participants. Looking forward to starting in the morning.
