When storing old photographs but was suddenly a bag of images from the 90's in my hand. the slightly yellowed paper with the name of the former photo shop with "PHOTO BOX" was still clearly visible, said first silent as to what images of bygone days, it might be. When you open the paper I discovered a stack of color photos of my once held German mastiff with the euphonious name of Asterix ...". I have it once in a nutshell "Floyd" called.
The black and white spotted male was a good-natured and loyal soul for many years.
He particularly loved the long walks I took with him on the weekends in the Steller Heide. That manageable area west of Bremen, that is one of the Lower Saxon town Stuhr. In those years I went to a few kilometers over the B 322 (now No. 28) after an ARAL gas station on the right towards Heiligenrode. Before crossing the line Delmenhorst - Harpenden (Jan Harpstedt) already begins the territory of the Steller Heide.
While there is the Steller sea with his campsite on the opposite street side, the walkers and dog owners for a parking space directly in a forest grove in order to immediately leave the cast off.
Joyfully expecting this moment the dog and shot like an arrow toward the trees where he shot several rounds before he then came back. My path described a slight swing to the right, towards a sand, heath and grass existing area that is manageable. The big dog moved always in sight. The nose on the ground and the tail is in constant motion.
This is the Steller Heide - despite massive protests by the dog hater - still an El Dorado for the owners of pets is located precisely from the fact that here on the weekends - and not only - makes a variety of dog friends. Often, to share experiences in a conversation, sometimes to maintain your ego and to show the other fans that are now little animal which is very special. Those holders are vain, but rather the exception.
ends after a few hundred meters of the refuge to the guardrails of the 322nd B So next to swing back and march in the opposite direction in the discharge area. So passed hour after hour, sometimes I crack 10 or more miles a day off. The "Floyd" was right, he had a great time to leave his mark on newly sown fields. If this were the farmer, who drove more frequently with the tractor on the farm roads, came before his eyes, it would certainly have been trouble.
What actually constitutes the Steller Heide, but the dogs do not meet, but they serve (s) and the police as a training ground. If was then hoisted a flag at the parking area, this meant purely and simply. No Trespassing! "
I know this situation has, however, only once learned and then I just dodged. There are ways around it that is wonderful economy, the kilometer run in one direction, without there can threaten a dog's enemy with the stick.
presented by looking through the color pictures, I do wonder what is so special about the Steller Heide? I still can not answer the question itself. Perhaps it is the Rest of nature, the ability to recover from the noise, the stress and anxiety of a city. Perhaps it is the fact that there is not "private. Admittance" is written on a sheet metal plate. In our hectic and on consumption, the commodity fetish assigned time after all, no matter of course.
