The festival and spa town of Bad Hersfeld (Bad is "spa" in German; the Old High German name of the city was Herolfisfeld) is the district seat of the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district in northeastern Hesse, Germany, roughly 50 km southeast of Kassel. Bad Hersfeld is known countrywide above all for the Bad Hersfelder Festspiele (festival), which have taken place each year since 1951 at the monastery ruins. These themselves are said to be Europe's biggest Romanesque church ruin. So far, so good. When I was there at the beginning of december I went to them church ruins to do some field-recording :) The amazing thing was, that it started with the sounds of, say a town, with a stupid leafblower, some dripping water of them ruin, well, and later on that brassband in the distance and some geese! Like Christmas! PCM-M10 recorder,Soundman A3 adapter and OKM binaural microphones.
