“Nibble” gelungen
Today was also for me a beautiful new experience. On our way through the Odenwald, we dropped for “Abendbrot” in Lindenfels.
Lindenfels is a small, but very remarkable and idyllic city at the Nibelungenstraße here in the Odenwald. Many houses are very old. It’s got a beautiful view on the valley in the south. Also it is very well known by motorists, for a quick stop near the “Schönes Aussicht“; as it has got a big parking place and a beautiful view; but better: the curvy roads there - not only for motorists :P
Anyway - we were lucky, the wind came from the east, so we could sit in the sun, which was setting in the west, and enjoy it’s last warmth, and not be bothered by the fresh eastern wind.
The castle isn’t what it has been before, there was a tower in the middle which unfortunately vanished. I think that the people maintaining Schloss Auerbach are very lucky that their 2 towers are still rather intact :
(Schloss Auerbach)
From the inside we had a great view on the land that was behind it; and as it was in a former ‘window’, it looked just beautiful, with the orange-tinted sun;
It looked almost like it was a painting at the wall:
After we’d finished eating we played on the fields on the inside and outside of the ‘burg’ - with a beautiful view on the little village:
The best thing was that dutch people walked by. Jr asked if they spoke dutch, and yes, they did (although with a tuk’s accent ;) After a short chat they said bye bye and wished us a nice holiday. Jr said he lived here, it wasn’t holiday. The people got quiet for a second and then said that he was very lucky to have every day holidays :)
(ok, for everyday holidays it’s hard work though ;)
The way back was ‘guided’ by Enigma, and again, the music matched the environment:
Another beautifuy day finished, and we’ve done quite a lot as well ;)
