			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who did not learn to speak German, the title says ‘A discovery journey in Illinois – from Chicago to Galena on the Mississippi…</p>
<blockquote><p>Die letzte Station der Reise ist Galena. Wenn man über die Hauptstraße flaniert, eine Prachtmeile mit Bauten im französischen Kolonialstil, weiß man, warum es mehr als eine Million Besuchern pro Jahr, vorzugsweise aus Chicago, hierhin zieht. Rund 85 Prozent der Gebäude der Stadt sind denkmalgeschützt. So entsteht eine heimelige Atmosphäre von anno dazumal. Die Zeit scheint hier stehen geblieben zu sein, auch wenn die Pferdekutschen nicht mehr fahren. Ein Spaziergang von Haus zu Haus, beispielsweise am Galena River entlang, bietet sich an. Jedes Gebäude atmet hier Geschichte. Die Stadt, sie wurde um 1820 gegründet, war einst ein wichtiger Zwischenstopp der Mississippi-Dampfschiffe und ein bedeutendes Zentrum des Blei-Bergbaus. So kam viel Geld in die Ansiedlung, und um 1840 hatte Galena mehr Einwohner als Chicago. Heute bringen die Urlauber das Geld in die Stadt, im Sommer und im Winter, denn nicht weit von Galena entfernt, hoch über dem Mississippi, liegt das Chestnut Mountain Resort. Das Skigebiet erstreckt sich über 55 Hektar und wird regelmäßig zu einem der Top Skigebiete im Mittleren Westen gekürt.</p>

<p>Die Galena Brewing Company bietet auch leckere saisonale Spezialitäten an Foto: Dierk Wünsche</p>
<p>Wer Urlaub macht, der will auch gut Essen und Trinken. Eine feine Adresse in Galena ist die Galena Brewing Company. Schon beim Betreten des Gastraums fällt der Blick auf eine ausladende Theke und die hohen, silberglänzenden Braukessel im Hintergrund. Hier lebt die Brautradition der alten Bergbaustadt – es gab hier vor der Prohibition neun Brauereien – wieder auf. So bieten Waren und Kathy Bell seit Juli 2010 unter dem Traditionsnamen Galena Brewing Company wieder sechs köstliche Biersorten an – selbstgebraut selbstverständlich und mit einheimischen, biologisch angebauten Zutaten. Und je nach Saison, beispielsweise zum Oktoberfest, gibt es auch noch mehr Biersorten. Damit sind viele Jahrzehnte der „Trockenzeit“, um 1938 schloss die letzte aktive Brauerei in Galena die Pforten, nun wohl endgültig vorbei. </p>

</blockquote>
<p>Here’s a rough translation from Google Translate:</p>
<blockquote><p>The last stop of the trip is Galena. If you stroll through the main street, a boulevard with a French colonial buildings, you know why there is more than a million visitors per year, preferably from Chicago who moves here. About 85 percent of buildings in the city are listed. Such a homely atmosphere is created from the old days. Time seems to have stopped here, even if no longer drive the horse. A walk from house to house, for example, at Galena River, is an option. Each building breathes history. The city, founded in 1820, was once an important stop of the Mississippi steamboats and a major center of lead mining. So much money came into the settlement, and in 1840 had more residents than Chicago Galena. Today the tourists bring money into the city in summer and winter, because not far from Galena, high above the Mississippi River, lies the Chestnut Mountain Resort. The ski resort extends over 55 hectares and is regularly voted one of the top ski resorts in the Midwest.</p>
<p>Who is on vacation, who wants good food and drink. A fine address in Galena, the Galena Brewing Company. As you enter the guest room look onto a sweeping counter and the high, gleaming silver brew kettle in the background. Here lives the brewing tradition of the old mining town &#8211; there were nine breweries before Prohibition &#8211; again. Appear to offer goods and Kathy Bell since July 2010 under the traditional name Galena Brewing Company again six tasty beers &#8211; brewed itself naturally and with local, organic ingredients.And depending on the season, such as the Oktoberfest, there are more beers. So many decades the &quot;dry season&quot;, around 1938, the last active brewery closed its doors in Galena, well now finally be over.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I think it’s easy to take our Galena for granted and forget that it’s truly an international destination. Thanks to this German family for reminding us through this excellent article…</p>
