I'm gonna take you for a walk where I grew up (Germany, State of Hessia). It looks like rain, but hey, we're in Germany, so we don't wanna stay inside. Down in the valley you can see my town - we've already been walking for a while. It's November and pretty cold already. |
We've reached the top of the hill we were climbing in the first picture. Now we can see the forest we'll walk through to get to the castle that's sticking out through the trees (ok, maybe not - my scanner sucks, so I've marked it with a tiny red arrow). |
It actually started raining, but we're in dense forest already so we won't get soaked. As we peek out through the trees to see the sky, we spot a rainbow. We keep walking through forest for about three hours. |
We've arrived at the castle, the Ronneburg, first mentioned in 1231. They used to burn witches here, and they still have a museum in there today where we can see the torture methods and utensils that were used. |
We climbed the main tower of the castle and are taking a look at the forest that surrounds us. Now we have to make a decision: Should we go the same way back (3hrs), or should we take the longer route back to my town (6hrs)? :) |
