Moin, moin
The Kiel Week is over. About 3 million people visited our beautiful city and some of them even stayed with us in the Birke. Turbulent days lie behind us and Kiel has been on its best behaviour again. But our Kiel Week guests are also always impressed by the wonderful surroundings of the capital which we gladly bring home to them with special arrangements. Here you can just get everything: lakes and forests, sea and beach, castles and farm houses, sailing yachts and rowing boats, big and small harbours for cruisers and jolly-boats.
Also I am just enjoying the beautiful surroundings and in a historic horse-drawn carriage I am on my way to my friend squire Dr. Detlev von Bülow. On his historical property of Gut Bossee in the natural park Westensee the first feinheimisch summer feast market is taking place on 5th July from 11 am till 6 pm and for this we have a few more things to discuss. The visitors can expect a huge number of regional specialities. In the exactly 300 year-old cowshed six excellent FEINHEIMISCH chefs offer their culinary delicacies for enjoyment and cooking. All dishes cost about EUR 4.00 and EUR 7.00. As a “Feinheimisch” founder member the Birke restaurant Fischers Fritz is present in the Guts-Café and bakes and serves home made cakes and a delicious bouillabaisse from fish from the North and Baltic Sea. Also family entertainment will be provided. On the property there are journeys in historical carriages, horse-riding on Icelandic horses, archery or throwing horseshoes.
Who not only wants to be cooked for but also would like to cook for themselves, for these people the Fischers Fritz created the Slow-Food cookery courses. They are so popular now that we decided not only to offer them 4 times a year but also to include them into the programme for birthday parties, company events, as a social programme for meetings etc. A regional producer from Schleswig-Holstein shows his ecologically produced products and methods. After it your desired menu with the particular goods will be put together with our cooking team. Provided with apron and the right kitchenware you prepare the menu together with your colleagues, friends or relatives. Our cooking team will guide you and give away some tricks of the professionals. Following that our service team will set the table with you, before you enjoy your menu which we serve. Best is you make your reservation immediately under this number 0049 (0)431-5331-435. (EUR 89.00 per person, inclusive all about ingredients, guidance by our professional cooking team, kitchenware, aperitif, non-alcoholic drinks during the cooking, apron and recipes). Speaking of reservation: Booked out very fast are also our popular Wine & Dine events. Therefore, you should already get your ticket for the 5th September. One of the most important German wine journalists, Jens Priewe, endows you with entertaining impressions of wines from Burgundy (0049 (0)431-5331-444).
But now: getting out of the carriage and the sun and getting in the shade. It’s good that I protected myself before with sun care products of La mer from the Birke Day Spa. When I am back at the hotel tonight I will cool my skin with the natural sea cosmetic o’well of the Kiel company oceanBASIS. This refreshes like a bath in the Baltic Sea! It is based on cultivated laminaria algae which are grown and harvested by the company itself in the Kiel Bay. The o’well alga gel package is for example a extensive combination of sea water and laminaria essence. As after a sea water shower moisture will be supplied to your skin and the cell metabolism will be activated very quickly. But I am also very impressed by the new design and packages of the products. We can be proud that we in the Birke Day Spa are the first and only ones who use these in a hotel in Kiel. Just try it. Mrs Heilmann in the beauty area gladly advises you. Just call under 0049 (0)431-5331-470 or best is you just come by in your hotel Birke – the Business and Wellness hotel in Kiel. Cause as you know – we are looking forward to seeing you!
Ahoi, ahoi
