I Want to Ride My Bicycle Where I Like

Lots of signs for cycle tracks around here. Some plain, just showing: this is for bicycles.

Some show directions and destinations.

There are also multi-purpose signs:

One direction to Mannheim, one to Heidelberg, one to Schwetzingen. And the scenic routes are:

Pan-European cycle track, the Rhine Valley cycle track, the asparagus route , the Kurpfalz route and the Leimbach route. Take your pick.

A Blast Will Do that!

The “Blasted Tower” of the Heidelberg Castle was blown up during the War of the Palatinate Succession at the end of the 17th century. Its walls are up to 6.50 metres thick. Like most of the castle it was built of
red sandstone. When the French troops blasted the tower it was partially destroyed, a huge chunk lies still today next to it and the innards are exposed.

My Weekend Last Weekend

Not necessarily in that order. But often exactly in that order. I forgot to mention there were also tents involved, and fire (with lots of smoke). And there were dogs. Definitely dogs. The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Life in Black & White

The Nagold in Pforzheim

In Pforzheim at the northern end of the Blackforest is the confluence of the Nagold in the Enz – or vice versa. The Nagold is the longer river, has more water, and a much larger catchment area, however, according to tradition the Nagold flows into the Enz. I guess, the Enz just had better PR.

I was standing on the brigde, and looked towards the south and then towards north.
