Good evening,


digital is great, but as long as we don't all move to the Internet, there is still an analog world.

So it is good news that in the future there will also be warnings on billboards at the roadside in Frankfurt if a disaster is looming, such as a chemical accident or a flood, for example.

The numerous apps from which you can also learn this will hopefully work anyway.

There could also be a warning about the sharply increasing number of corona cases. On Thursday, the seven-day incidence in Hesse exceeded 200, and in Offenbach it even jumped to a sad 312. The clinics are reaching their capacity limits. The question of what will become of the Christmas markets is still a tricky one. In Frankfurt, construction continues, but the citizens will have to forego a ceremonial opening on Monday. In Darmstadt there are access controls, in Gießen the stands are to be set up at a greater distance from one another. Let's see if all of this remains the last word. In any case, the safest Christmas market visit this year is the one who is allowed to stay, as bad as that is for the showmen.

The Frankfurt trade fair continues to suffer, but the management is bravely confident.

It has now been announced that there will be another music fair in April - a commitment to an event whose future has not been entirely clear for a long time, one remembers the failed concept of approaching the book fair.

After losing the International Motor Show, the trade fair city of Frankfurt really has nothing left to offer.

The tip for the weekend

How about an autumn march on the Eichkopf this weekend?

This is a mini mountain tour in the clearest air and easy to manage even for inexperienced hikers.

At 563 meters, the highest elevation in the Main-Taunus district is located directly above the former Hustenburg, the lung clinic in the Kelkheim district of Ruppertshain.

If you follow the oak leaf signs from the forest parking lot, you can get to the top without much effort.

The ascent does not take long - and offers a micro-vacation for the senses.

Because in addition to the pure Taunus air, the Eichkopf also has peace and quiet and lots of nature to offer.
