On the roots and bedded on lichens between the rocks and blueberry bushes I had learned to walk. A family destination in the summer was the summit of this mountain called Ochsenkopf, at the foot of which I lived in a village.

For my 50th birthday I was looking for total closeness to this enchanting atmosphere.
In front of me rests the Goethe rock, which "he" once traveled here. I stayed under this rock into my birthday even though it was raining at 1020m.

It is the intensive inhalation of my impressions with all my senses in my calm. With still youthful agility with the jumps on different rocks and the dexterity to follow the root path between the bushes and stones like a fast deer, I bring the long-forgotten childhood event into my adult consciousness and savor it.

From this source energy and perhaps also from the search for my identity, for a pillar of it, the renaissance of a homeland song is created in creativity, namely the Fichtelgebirge song, which I have now embedded in my own modern version.
When I was a kid, this song was rarely played and I couldn't even hear it. However, I reactivated it into consciousness with the original energy and thus created a modernized Fichtelgebirge song.

You can now listen to it here.
