The hills of the Odenwald might not be high enough to be called mountains but there are lots of them.

Pentecost Weekend Trios
Pentecost weekend is excursion time for many Germans. If the weather plays along – all the better. The three cyclists certainly liked it that way.
For some the destination was the Bienenmarkt (bee market) in Michelstadt, the biggest county fair in the Odenwald. Locally it has the reputation of being a “puddle party” because of the traditionally wet weather. As you can see, tradition was not followed this year, and three cabins of the ferris wheel prove the point.

Flowers and Beer in the Odenwald
The last photo on the phone SD-card. The entrance to the Schmucker Brewery in Mossautal.
The last photo on the camera SD-card. A peonie (Pentecost rose) at night.
We’re Here Because of Beer
I found an additional definition of “fleshment” in Collins Dictionary: “excitement or stimulation via previous experience”. Even though it’s flagged as archaic, the concept is still very much alive and well.
We passed the Schmucker brewery in Mossautal yesterday. This beer delivery truck stood in front of the hotel and pub. The weather was gorgeous and many, many Pentecoast Monday day trippers succumbed to the lure of the various brews advertised on the side of the truck. No doubt they remembered the stimulation from other times. If they do yield to the temptation on a regular basis the first Collins definition “the act of fattening” will be seen on them.
PS: We stopped and had a wonderfully fresh lager on tap. All had a full glass, I had one long sip – I was the driver.

Einhard Left Me!
Inside the Einhard’s Basilica in Michelstadt. Built for the chronist of Charlemagne, Einhard abandoned the basilica and transferred his intended burial site to Seligenstadt (his church there housed important relics which made Seligenstadt into a pilgrimage site) thus saving the one in Steinbach from major renovations and thus preserving many of the Carolingian features.

Change Your Point of View, Change Your Outlook
It was foggy down in the valley. It was sunny up on the hills. Your outlook depended on where you were.
I choose the sunny side.

A Commanding View
The tower on the Odenwald hill called Tromm jutts out an usual angle. It’s a prominent view from many directions.
And it offers prominent views to all the surrounds, 360° of it.

Once There Was a Wonderful Playground
and then there motions, and applications, and petitions, and acclamations. And now the playground is only open according to a strict timetable and the water has been drained.
