Wiesbaden. We booked not only an overnight stay at Europe's oldest grand hotel, but also a guided tour of Christmas-themed Wiesbaden.
We learned about Germany's largest mobile ice rink and the history of Wiesbaden, including the various coincidences that eventually led to its becoming the state capital

Has another year already passed?
We're walking the Nativity Trail today; I need to stretch my legs after a rather restless night shift. The Nativity Trail is a private initiative. Along a roughly 3km loop, you can admire numerous handcrafted nativity scenes, and it stays open until sometime after Epiphany

That wasn't the original plan. We had intended to walk from the parking lot in Röllfeld to Großheubach, grab a bite to eat, and then walk back. However, while driving through Klingenberg, we saw banners advertising the market's Sunday opening and quickly changed our plans.

Who invented it? Of course, everyone knows. It was Brother Jacob.
We start in Freudenstein at the hiking parking lot. The trail climbs steeply through the vineyards to the panoramic path above the village. From here, you're supposed to have magnificent views of the surrounding area, or so the brochure

A city tour in Nuremberg, we're having a family reunion.
We skipped the visit to Niu Cafe, which supposedly has amazing creations, because their coffee machine was broken. That wasn't an option, so we went to the gingerbread market. We didn't have coffee there either, but at least we had an Elisen beer

The Kahlgrund is burning. This is, in a way, the unofficial national holiday of the Kahlgrund. Around a dozen winemakers and distillers in the Kahlgrund not only open their stills, but also serve wine and offer a program.
The three of us take the Bembel (a beer) to Michelbach and walk back. The atmosphere

The Odenwald, still terra incognita. The Trommturm (Irenenturm near Tromm) has been on my to-do list for a long time.
Today is the day. My wife and son are packed up and off we go. We park in Wald-Michelbach, which is pretty easy on Sundays. Past the solar-powered trolley (looks fun), we head uphill to

Yesterday it was a bit later, so we need a little exercise today. Ramholz Castle has been on my to-do list for a long time, the weather is perfect, and we have just enough time for the second-to-last stop. The castle is quite an eye-catcher. It's privately owned, we've read, so it's probably not usually

A short walk around Eberbach Monastery. Completely unsuitable footwear for the muddy walk through the woods, but the beautiful views of the monastery more than justified the shoe polishing.
Some scenes from "The Name of the Rose" were filmed at the monastery. Fittingly, it was on TV yesterday. That will
