I find the photo inspiring: the Bavarian lion and the Austrian eagle facing and embracing each other for a peaceful present and an even more prosperous future....isn't that what sister cities are designed to help create as well?
How are Paderborn and Belleville stimulating each other to create valuable outcomes that better serve both cities and their folks? How could we add to these efforts? What visions and attitudes would be beneficial?
Tourists and natives alike pose in front of this wooden sign in a forest between Mittenwald,Germany and Leutasch,Austria indicating the demarcation line where the old border used to be.Now it has grown into a borderless region with fantastic scenery and endless hiking opportunities.No passport required here - not even a friendly "Grüß Gott" is needed for the border is no more - here the United States of Europe is a lived reality - the lion and the eagle are finally having a ball.
