Annette & Georg took us out on a trip to nearby provinces to visit local towns. each with old buildings from the 1300s.
First was Eberbach, a beautiful old town built on the River Neckar,in the province of Baden. The autumn colours are at their most brilliant. We were impressed by the high water marks recorded one of the old buildings along the river. The highest mark was dated 1759.
Annette and Georg hurried us along as they said that the next town, in the province of Hessen, was even more interesting and picturesque.
The next town that we drove to was Michelstadt. On one building you could see how these black and white buildings are made, with a wooden frame and mixture of mortar and straw in the gaps.
The final town we visited was Miltenberg, in Bavaria. Here a harvest market was in progress, with a touch of halloween. It was very busy. We queued up to enter a car park. One car could go in as long as one car came out.
.
The town has a old castle, and a wall that gave good views over the city and the Maen River.
Doug found this cafe of interest, where he could eat the goose that bit him in Holland.
Finally we headed home to Limbach after this nice meal of bratwurst and sauerkraut at an organic restaurant near Miltenberg.
