Another day we visited a walled town.
The castle fort
There was a tower at each corner of the town and the castle was at the highest corner.
Another corner's tower is beyond the indolent cat.
Overlooking the valley. Lots of grapes are grown in the region for wine.
We had a fun group and lots of laughing while we were exploring!
This house was wonderfully asymmetrical.
We all thought this might have been like the house that Hansel & Gretel could have been kept in.
Then on to a different place with a ruined church that had been part of an abbey. It was the largest one in Germany at the time.
It was the victim of a war a long time ago and burned for 12 days.
One more place on this day: An archeological site of a Roman farm villa.
The storage cellar. There also was underfloor heating. The Romans had good technology.
Our guide had been Victor Fast, a passionate historian who is skillful and interesting. We had dinner on the Fast's patio - very pleasant. This was a characteristic pose for Viktor. He can be as expressive with his hands as with his words.
