Today there was a small city tour through Freinsheim. The city center is still (completely) enclosed by the historic city wall and invites you to explore many alleys and nooks and crannies. Worth seeing!

Friday is steamed dumpling day. A good reason for a trip to Freinsheim. Bad luck, the steamed dumplings were all gone, so we had the Krumbeersupp without them. 😐 A walk around the old town by the city wall was a must.

My expectations were even exceeded.

The town wall is one of the best preserved medieval fortifications in Rhineland-Palatinate, built between 1471 and 1514, when Elector Frederick …

After 1 week out of the 4 walls...
Corona has knocked me out again and pretty badly... 5 days almost only in bed.
I really have to take it easy😞. Lungs, heart, circulation, stomach... nothing can take the strain.
The walk through Freinsheim was nice, everything was flat, but still almost too much... now it's time to rest. It was …
