Contraposition
The eldest parts of Schloss Fürstenau in Steinbach, part of Michelstadt im Odenwald, were built in the 14th century. It is still used residentially which is why the court yard is only open for a few hours each day. The newest part is the “new palais” on the left. The renovated white, grey and gold façade is quite the opposite of the more mellow, medieval parts.

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Rustic Relic
Training with the Bike
Cycling with the train.
A couple of weeks ago we took the bikes and a train.
That’s the Odenwald Bahn, the red train running from Weinheim to Fürth/Odw.
We ditched the train at the end of the line and cycled back, all 17 kilometers.
Bye, bye, train!

I’m a Fan of Wooden Shingles
In some parts of Germany houses (not just roofs) are covered with wooden shingles. It’s a very special look.
Well Protected
The Stony Bridge over the Elbbach in Hadamar was built in 1571 and in 1760 the statue of St Nepomuk, the patron saint of bridges, was placed in the middle to guard the crossing. It was destroyed in 1941 and restored in 1945.
This post looks back at with Six Word Saturday from yesterday, and I’m looking forward to lots of monochrome bridges on Thursday with Cee’s Black & White Challenge.
