Wine enthusiasts rejoice! The Weiden Wine Reading Festival returns from its extended hiatus.

In the picturesque town of Weiden, Upper Palatinate, the long-awaited Lesekaffee Festival returned after a three-year hiatus. Organised by the Pro Libris Förderverein, the festival took place at the Regional Library, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere for visitors to meet, chat, and enjoy music.

Visitors queued outside from 5 PM, eager to enter the festival grounds, where the focus was on creating a cozy environment. The ground floor played host to the event, with a few smokers and visitors enjoying the fresh air in the inner courtyard.

The festival featured a variety of food specialties, including meat-filled or nut-filled horns and onion cake. Red and white wine were served, with members of the Pro Libris support association acting as tasters. Maria-Seltmann-Haus provided tableware for the occasion.

However, the day was not without incident. On the A 93 near Falkenberg, several vehicles were involved in an accident. On the B85, a car overturned between Amberg-Ost and Pittersberg. Unfortunately, a Munich woman was seriously injured in a climbing accident at Maximilian Felsen, with the likelihood of her fall being due to an error with her equipment.

Meanwhile, the world of basketball was also embroiled in controversy. Germany's victory over Lithuania was overshadowed by a racism scandal involving captain Schröder. There was a concern in a scene where an Augsburg player was injured after colliding with a Bayern pro. Coach Wagner criticized Munich's behaviour in the incident.

The German federation also announced consequences for the racism scandal. In a separate event, a car crash in Bayern resulted in the death of the driver, a fact unrelated to the Wine Harvest Festival but worthy of mention.

As the day drew to a close, the federal road was cleared, and the festivities continued. The Lesekaffee Festival, with its focus on community and enjoyment, provided a welcome respite from the day's events.
