The City wall..... |
...with a marvellous old tree, that gnomes probably lived in |
the same tree from the other side |
The back of the old mill, now the Youth Hostel |
Looking over the wall to another part of the town situated above the river valley |
Fountain with Easter decor |
Various buildings proudly advertised the stays of emperors and popes within their walls |
A pretty little house |
This part of the wall notes 1590 as its building date |
Looking into the city garden, where the former Burg stood |
These are the gates from the city into the garden, in the daytime. |
This was where the night walk was, from the previous post. |
The red marks all that remains of the old fortress. To the right is where the city is now. It used to be a little farm area. |
The one remaining building of the Burg, a part of the former chapel. |
Memorial wreaths for the war dead, remembered for the Resurrection. |
The upper part of the chapel remnant |
Marvellous remains of the old frescos |
A preserved bust high on a wall |
An angel fresco |
How one gets to his chimney (a house in the garden) |
A formal garden plot with statues of the four Seasons and the four Elements personified - you can figure them out - |

A fine barn in the valley |
The garden wall overlooking the river valley |
The streets before they are clogged with tourists |
This is THE VIEW of the city used to advertise its charms. |
And that was the morning walk, before Bible class and choir practice. More to come.
The view of the village from above (evening walk) - what a perfect fairy tale place! Very charming.
