Let’s Keep the Keep

Veldenz Castle is in the middle of the town of Nohfelden in the Saarland. We would have liked to climb the stairs to the top of the keep for the view but it was closed for renovations and repairs. The English wikipedia still has photos of the tower without a roof but the cone-type roof was added in 1999 so that wasn’t the reason for the closing. A special company checked for loose stones on the outside of the castle keep.

I’m a Fan of e-Scooters

I used to drive a scooter, without a motor, before I got an e-bike. I enjoyed the ease with which I got around town, take it on a bus or on a tram and scoot to the next destination.

I wanted to try an e-scooter ever since they started standing around for hire.

This holiday was my chance.

We hired e-scooters to whizz around the lake where we were staying. About 7km seemed a nice little tour.

The two Lake’s Angels following me and coming towards me for the photo op.

It was really fun. We enjoyed ourselves.

Until at the furthest point from hire station my scooter stopped working.

And I pushed, and scooted, and walked and occasionally wheeled a few metres behind the two others for the last 3 km.

Pffff … I was ready to call it quits but the hire people were very nice and very apologetic and we got another hour for free on fault-free scooters. So I kept being a fan.
