Field trip to the Odenwald

Last Monday Robin took me for a drive in the Odenwald (the forest). We also stopped by the spring fair in a small town called Michelstadt. It was a perfectly sunny day - wonderful day for a field trip.

First stop was a castle

The entrance

Then off to Michelstadt

Here is the town hall. They built it so that it was raised above the market square. We listened in on a tour to find out that it was built this way so that they could show power - that they were above the common affairs of the market.
