Schdolz bin isch uf Schriese,

Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits.”

Renowned heroes, worthy of praise

If you know something of the Nibelungenlied you know that Hagen killed Siegfried at a brook while he was kneeling down to have a drink. There are at least eight places in the Odenwald which claim to be the place where it all happened. Quite interesting, isn’t it?

The photos were taken at the Lindelbrunnen in Hiltersklingen.
