On the way back from Wetzlar, we made a first stop in Lich. A great little sleepy half-timbered town with a castle and castle park.

From Wetzlar, we hiked today over the ruins of Kalsmunt Castle along the Lahn to the Römerforum in Waldgirmes.
At the ruins, we were lucky that someone got a private tour with a tower climb. In Waldgirmes, we also received many explanations about the local findings.
To get back to Wetzlar, we used public

Today we visited the old town of Wetzlar. Here, everything is included in a small space. Old bridges, old half-timbered houses, a cathedral and the city wall...
Since one of the lords of Gemmingen was an assessor at the Imperial Chamber Court, we also stumbled upon a tomb monument of him in the cathedral

Relaxation in the Bienwald today during a bike tour. We tried to escape the sun a little, which also succeeded quite well. Along the way, we discovered one or two beautiful highlights, but also things from Germany's dark times, as the Westwall once ran here.

With the new bike rack, today was the maiden voyage.
So it happened that we took a bike tour between Karlsruhe and Rastatt near Durmersheim.
There were no mountains - after all, we're not that fit yet.

The last round of the day we undertook in Rüsselsheim. The park and the fortress attracted us there. In the fortress, everything (the museums) was freely accessible today, as a flea market was taking place at the same time.
We also managed to grab one of the last pieces of cake.

They built a chic, large castle there on the Rhine - the Counts of Nassau. Very beautiful to look at with a generous park by the garden architect Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell, whom we know.

Today we undertook an expedition to the other side of the Rhine to Wiesbaden. We crossed the city from north to south. Historically, the city doesn't have much more to offer. We picked out the cherries. I was impressed by the Marktkirche and especially by the train station. It presents itself as bright

Today we explored Mainz's old town. In the Cathedral, there was a Gemmingen tomb monument. And we also stumbled across well-known noble families all over the city. For example, Sophie La Roche and the lords of Stadion, whom we know from Bönnigheim.
Afterwards, we briefly got on the bus to go to the Citadel...

Eltville is said to have a rose garden. We convinced ourselves of this: yes, it is true.
My oversensitive nose sounded the alarm again, but my eyes were more convincing.
There used to be a pretty castle here too.

Today's last little detour led to the megalithic tomb near Muschenheim. That brought back memories of last year's holiday in Sardinia...
