Tag: Odenwald
Renowned heroes, worthy of praise
If you know something of the Nibelungenlied you know that Hagen killed Siegfried at a brook while he was kneeling down to have a drink. There are at least eight places in the Odenwald which claim to be the place where it all happened. Quite interesting, isn’t it?
The photos were taken at the Lindelbrunnen in Hiltersklingen.

Hazy view
The view from Lindenfels castle across the hills of the Odenwald.
Slightly de-hazed.
Colour augmented.
And here the sundowner, colour enhanced, veering-towards-kitsch version.

Is it a star? Nothing of the kind

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.

I like to move it, move it
The tech is in the bike itself, in the cell phone on the handlebar, in the power bank in front of the handlebar, in my bluetooth earbuds – and I use all of it for transport!

Honey, I kind of shrunk the kids!
“Something of the kind” – The Felsenmeer (sea of stones) looks like pebbles with beetles crawling over it.

A place with a view
For me, it helps if there is a bit of an elevation and a view across the land – as is the case here, once again in the Odenwald: overlooking a valley to the next line of hills.

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.
