Germany, especially in the north, is a cold, gray place in winter, and the first hints of spring draw everyone out into the sunshine like hibernating bears emerging from their winter caves. Springtime (der Fr\u00fchling<\/em>) is very much appreciated <\/em>in Northern Europe, and with this special time of year come special springtime activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although some people ride their bicycles all year round, the increased number of cyclists (die Fahrradfahrer <\/em>or die Radfahrer<\/em>) zooming through the streets is a sure sign of spring. The noun is das Fahrrad <\/em>(“the bicycle”), and the action of riding a bike is expressed with Fahrrad fahren, Rad fahren<\/em>, radfahren,<\/em> or mit dem Rad fahren. <\/em>As a cyclist, you will want to make sure you stay on the bicycle path (der Fahrradweg) <\/em>and be vigilant of both cars and pedestrians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things you do during spring in Germany and how to talk about them.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fr\u00fchlingszeit ist Fahrradzeit, also raus mit dem Fahrrad und ab auf die Piste!<\/em>
Springtime is bike time, so get out the bike and hit the road!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since it’s not warm enough to swim yet, people flock to parks and gardens to soak up the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man kann sich dort sonnen, Frisbee spielen oder ein Picknick machen.<\/em>
You can sun yourself, play frisbee, or have a picnic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another classic sign of spring is ice cream. Long lines form in front of any town or city’s most beloved Eisdielen<\/em> (“ice cream parlors”). When it’s your turn to order, you will need to specify whether you would like eine Kugel<\/em> (one scoop) or several Kugeln<\/em> (scoops), and whether you would like your ice cream im Becher<\/em> (“in a cup”), in der Eist\u00fcte <\/em>(“in a cone”), or in der Waffel<\/em> (“in a waffle cone”). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erdbeereis und Vanilleeis, ein Traum f\u00fcr einen sonnigen Fr\u00fchlingsnachmittag.<\/em>
Strawberry ice cream and vanilla ice cream, a dream for a sunny spring afternoon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the time to really enjoy life, after all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Das ist der Fr\u00fchling\u2026 alle freuen sich: die Tiere, die Pflanzen, die Menschen.<\/em>
This is spring\u2026 everyone rejoices: the animals, the plants, the people.<\/p>
