Wurstmarkt time is high jinx time!
The Wurstmarkt in Bad Dürkheim is the largest winefest in the world. It lasts for 2 weeks. Enough time for all the high jinx to last you a whole year!
The sculpture is part of the Wurstmarkt fountain in the square in front of the Bad Dürkheim station.
Disclaimer: I did not want to jinx my weekend by focussing on the negative aspect of the word.
I like this little flower which can often be seen in the fields at the moment. I like it more now that I know the different names it has, in German but also in English: clusterhead or clusterhead pink, dianthus carthusianorum (okay, that’s really Latin), and German pink.

Once a week we indulge ourselves by participating in a paper chase. One of us prepares a trail, marks it with chalk and then he has to explain his/her signs in detail to the rest of the group. Some signs are pretty standard, others are more creative. Either way, the audience is captivated.
They use to bring their cattle here from the farms surrounding Munich but today it is a beautiful square, a fountain with a pool and large stoney cattle.
