Going to a festival? Foods to take to power through and how to hydrate against hangovers
'They are compact, keep well in hot and humid conditions for several days, and provide lots of energy and minerals,' says Daniela Krehl, a nutrition expert at the Bavarian Consumer Advice Centre, in Germany.
Take dried fruit with you, she recommends. 'Dried figs and apricots are very rich in minerals.'
Muesli bars often combine both energy and minerals and you can also make them yourself easily, helping you save money and cut out some of the
sugar
Festivals are fun but potentially exhausting. Foods such as dried fruit and muesli bars can help you power through. Photo: Reuters

In Romania, volunteers battle to save country's cultural treasures
Graffiti covers the crumbling walls of the main thermal baths in one of Europe's oldest spa towns. Advertisement But after decades of neglect, a group of young architects is working to restore the picturesque Romanian resort that once attracted emperors. 'Someone once said that if you drink water from the spring from Herculane, you never leave,' said 31-year-old architect Oana Chirila. 'I was struck by the beauty of the place,' she said of the town in the southwest of the country, surrounded by mountains and crossed by a river. 'And at the same time shocked by its condition,' she said of the decrepit state of the old thermal baths. Architect Oana Chirila, 31, stands next to a reconstruction site of The Countess' Promenade and the Spring of Countess in Baile Herculane on July 29. Photo: AFP She first stumbled upon Baile Herculane eight years ago, purely by chance, she said.

How two contrasting cities tell the German story
You're going to Chemnitz?' say my German friends in surprise. 'Why?' They are even more astonished to hear that this Saxony city is a 2025 European Capital of Culture . If a low profile German town is to be one of the two or three European Union cities chosen each year for this honour, surely it should be somewhere like well-preserved Rothenburg ob der Tauber, in Bavaria . World War II gave that jigsaw-puzzle-pretty city a relatively gentle cuffing, whereas it flattened industrial Chemnitz. Rothenburg ob der Tauber, in the south of Germany, is a well-preserved warren of medieval housing surrounded by a city wall with varied gate towers, where every turn on a random walk brings new pleasures.

All the more urgent for a city that has come to be known in recent years for anti-immigrant protests and some of Germany's staunchest support for the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party. And despite its pre-reunification history as the decaying East German state's Karl-Marx-Stadt, a hard-to-love centre for technology that lagged ever further behind the West, Chemnitz turns out to have no shortage of culture of its own to present. The slogan of Chemnitz's vast programme of cultural events for 2025, with visiting orchestras, art exhibitions, a bike race and much else still to come, is 'C the Unseen', to be read both as an admission that the city remains little known and an exhortation to discover what's been missed. Chemnitz's early 20th century industrialisation did not come without elegance, and this century-old former factory is now that Saxony city's Industrial Museum. Photo: Peter Neville-Hadley
