Typical Bavarian town. Even though they were magical, they all started to look alike after a while.
shops and street vendors in Heidelberg. I never got tired of the narrow streets here (unless we were competing with bicycles) lol
the wood framing shown in most of these images were near 250 years old or older as many were not damaged by WW2
this city well was constructed in 1784!
Pretty little chapel on the way to the castle
You know what time I took this picture!
Started up this staircase that was constructed in the 12th century to visit the Castel Wertheim, all uphill
I chose to leave the jet trail to show the contrast of 250 years in time
Castel Wertheim, or Wertheim Castle, was built during the 12th century and served as the seat of the Counts of Wertheim.
Today, it's a popular tourist attraction (to us anyway) and a cultural landmark, offering stunning views of the Main and Tauber rivers
My wife taking her post at one of the guard towers of the Castel Wertheim
I had trouble processing this image to better show my wifes face yet keep the castle walls highlights. my wife lost out I guess lol
If walls could talk
No a very good picture on the right, this this little restaurant tucked away down this hall had the best lunch I think I had on my whole vacation. Genuine German Brats with local wine, looking at this picture I can still taste it now.
So I included this image as I learned here as in most of the EU the property taxes were based on the ground floor sq/ft, so as they build up, the expanded the sq/ft to save on taxes, clever considering this was 250 year ago, plus the ground floor was always stone as being close to the river, these towns often flooded. Can you pronounce the blew street name?
This image got out of place. its another tower of the Wertheim Castle
More to follow. On to Wurzburg Germany
