Tag: Odenwald

Om … ommmmmm

Lindenfels is a small town in the Odenwald where the German Dragon Museum is housed hence dragons abound in the streets and the shop windows, often crossing the line between art and kitsch. This one struck me as particularly stange: A baby-faced dragon with droopy eyelids doing yoga? No comment.

More than just a hole in the ground

This toilet seat is of Roman origin, in a villa rustica excavated near the village of Hummetroth in the Odenwald. Like other Roman villas of the same time this one sported many amenities like a bath house and underfloor heating which must have been the height of luxury in the 2nd century surrounded by barbarians on all side.

A dammed valley

This reservoir in the Odenwald, the Marbach Stausee, features a unique structure in the middle. I’m sure it has something to do with the lake’s function but I’ve not found a detailed explanation why it is there – except for looking strange and unique, especially with its reflection in the still waters.
