Welcome to the new version of European Tribune. It's just a new layout, so everything should work as before - please report bugs here.

Besides the tracks bonus part one, with some more photos from Böheimkirchen in the rain.

Curve of the road along the crest of the hill between the Michelbach and Persching rivers:

An old tree next to the police station in Böheimkirchen, which still sports the name of the no more existing gendarme (it was merged into police in 2005):

Or, besides the tracks bonus, part two. This wind turbine in the industrial area between the Westbahn and the parallel highway in Böheimkirchen was one of the first commercial installations I saw.

The hen farm is on the edge of a small residential district. At this distance, I couldn't hear even a swoosh from the turbine, but that may have been due to the rain.

From what I found on-line, it is operational since 1996, and is a Seewind SW 20/110 (rotor diameter 20 m, maximum power 110 kW, hub height 31 m). If I a not mistaken, southwest German manufacturer Seewind somehow became part of Danish maker NEG-Micon which itself merged into Vestas.
