We had another walk around Rothenburg after the rugby and got to see the gardens through town and the views down the valley. The countryside around seems to be unspoilt woodland turning beautiful autumnal shades from amber through to red, with the tips of towers peering through the canopy. As the light faded and itContinue reading “Heading north – (via Hammelburg) Ramsthal, Germany”

It was 0 degrees C when we took out Lizzy and Lola for their morning ablutions this morning. The grass in the field was crisp with frost, not that they seemed to mind as we ssshed their play fighting enthusiasm as everyone else was trying to sleep. It was still super cozy in Clouline thoughContinue reading “Medieval Beauty – Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany”

This morning started with a walk around the walls of Dinkelsbühl, with its 18 towers and 4 gates. As everywhere we seem to want to walk in Germany, there is a well laid tarmac / hardcore cycle / walking path all the way round; joining up with various other routes signposted to other nearby villages.Continue reading “Misty start to Saturday – Dinkelsbühl, Germany”

Today we moved another whole 30 minutes along the Romantic Road to Dinkelsbühl. Just a little bit of motorhome info for those that are interested, Nördlingen was 5€ per night, plus 2€ per 2kw for electric, water was free, as was black waste disposal. We had to buy a parking ticket and display in theContinue reading “Venturing onwards- Dinkelsbühl, Germany”

Slow start today, a tour of another supermarket, Kaufland, to pick up the bits we could not get in the last one. Literally a 2 minute walk from the Motorhome Stellplatz, which is great and saves all the hassles of trying to find parking for our big Clouline. Foreign supermarkets are always much more interesting,Continue reading “Daniel Tower views – Nördlingen, Germany”

This morning started with a walk to the local reservoir / nature reserve recommended by our neighbouring diner last night. As dogs often do, spark a conversation with strangers. A nice couple of miles before breakfast though it is definitely getting a little cool in the air now. Next on our list was a stopContinue reading “On the road again – (via Harburg Castle) Nördlingen, Germany”

You may have spotted we have extended our Friedberg stay to the full three days because we like it here 😁 However, today was chance to do some jobs before we head off north. I loaded up a big rucksack and the dog carrier with laundry and headed to the nearest laundrette. Kevin was onContinue reading “Jobs Day – Friedberg, Germany”

Monday, we headed into Augsburg to do some sightseeing using the local commuter train from Friedberg, only a 10 minute walk from the Stellplatz we are staying. The Romantic Road is a route through some scenic locations and historic towns and villages in Bavaria which was created by the local tourist board and is signContinue reading “Start of our Romantic Road Trip – Augsburg, Germany”

Would love to tell you we’d had a wonderfully cultured day of intellectual sight seeing etc. Actually, we got up late, also not true, Kevin got up several times in the night to pacify Lola’s guarding instincts as it was soo quiet last night she responded in kind to every motion.. including our neighbouring motorhomeContinue reading “Relaxing Sunday Afternoon – Friedberg, Bavaria, Germany”

Today started with a lovely walk with Lizzy and Lola through some of the woods of the Black Forest, which we are literally parked in front of in our spot at the Unimog museum. The woods are threaded with cycle paths and walks and are popular. We struggled a bit with the signage and atContinue reading “Unimog, the sequel (Ötigheim) – Weiheim an der Teck, Germany”
