Sunny Fall Days

Mia's one week fall vacation started with blue skies and sunshine so we tried to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather.
First we used the last day of the boat service on the Neckar for a ride to the "Alte Brücke" - the old stone bridge.





On the other side of the river we went up the Philosopher's way with its famous view


The next day we did a little road trip. First stop was Mchelstadt - an historic town in the Odenwald about 60 minutes away in Hesse



Then it was only a 30 minute drive to Miltenberg on the river Main and already in Bavaria




The green building could be the oldest guesthouse in Germany: The Gasthof "Zum Riesen" was first mentioned 1158 and today's building is from 1590. Parts of the Gothic predecessor remain in the building.

It housed guests from Emperor Barbaossa, Wallentein to Elvis Presley


Mia was more interested in a round of miniature golf  by the river



Fall colors on the drive back


We arrived back in Heidelberg just after sunset
