Winter Journey – Winterreise

by Ludwig Uhland, 1813:

The cold winds make me shiver,

Bei diesem kalten Wehen

deserted seems the town
sind alle Straßen leer,

and frozen lies the river,
die Wasser stille stehen,

but I alone stroll 'round.
ich aber schweif' umher.

The sun shines cold and pallid,
Die Sonne scheint so trübe,

soon it will disappear.
muss früh hinunter gehn,

Love is no longer valid,
erloschen ist die Liebe,

it has no meaning here.
die Lust kann nicht bestehn.

Through woods and fields I'm straying,
Nun geht der Wald zu Ende,

a village's there, I'm told,
im Dorfe mach ich Halt.

to warm my hands I'm staying,
Da wärm ich mir die Hände,

but still my heart is cold.
bleibt auch das Herze kalt.

Heading to the Meeting

Down the River Dreisam north-northwest of Freiburg.

Autumn colors along the way.

Passing the painted tree.

Past the rapeseed field.

The former Riegeler Brewery which was founded in 1834 and has been shut down a while ago.

Looking back the River Dreisam.

The Meeting – River Elz (upper right), River Dreisam (lower right) and Alte Dreisam (lower left) join in Riegel to continue as Elz towards the Rhine.

Another meeting – a flock of swans is enjoying the sunny day.
