Excursion (3rd Day)
At the third day we are planning a bus tour to the dharma center Anjin-Do in Mönchengladbach. On the way we want to make a stop at a local sight:
Auf dem Weg wollen wir eine lokale Sehenswürdigkeit besuchen: the Rocket Station (Langen Foundation) and the Museum Island Hombroich. The Rocket Station (Langen Foundation) was an American military base for nuclear missiles, which after the cold war was converted into a museum areal. The Japanese architect Tadao Ando created here a spectacular museum building. Not far away, there is the Museum Island Hombroich, where a modern museum complex is artfully incorporated into a Lower-Rhenish natural landscape.
