Without Asparagus Everything Is Just Bananas!
Around May there is kind of madness that descends on Germans. They go bananas over white asparagus. They eat it with meat, with ham, with pancakes, on its own, usually with a sauce hollandaise or a bechamel sauce. They even paint their houses with it. Proper fanatics.
BTW: The writing properly translated means: Without asparagus, life is unimportant.

The Palatinate Connection
They have many tales in the Palatinate about Elwetritsche – the descendants of various kinds of fowl bred with forest dwellers like elves and goblins. I once found an Elwetritsche egg on a hike in the Palatinate Forest and since it seemed abandoned I decided to put in my backpack and carry it with me. Unfortunately, the eggshell cracked when stumbled on a big root of an oak tree and the Elwetritsch hatched right there in my pack. It was the kind which has a beak and sharp teeth and it started to hack its way through the canvas. It managed to get out and immediately fluttered and hopped into the thicket where I just manage to glance a larger Elwetritsch whom the newborn followed. I was left bewildered, with a split backpack, a swollen ankle and tale to tell in the next pub over a dubbeglas filled with a dry local wine.

A Very Distinctive Silhouette
Weinheim is known as the Zweiburgenstadt (the Two Castle Town) and the two castles, Wachenburg and Windeck, on the hills overlooking the town make a distinctive silhouette.
So distinctive in fact that it was made into a logo. And occasionally into a cookie.

Boundary Stones
They used to be important. Now they are more decorative. You find them sporadically on your walks.
