Tübingen

We had originally planned to go on a little vacation during Mia's one week fall break but with the weather not so nice we only did two day trips. One by car to a small town close to the border with Luxembourg with a Lands End Outlet store and another one by train to Tübingen
It was a bit foggy and cool but the old university town on the river Nrckar looked quite romantic on a misty morning

But before exploring the city we first met some friends for a late breakfast


 Mia"s friend had come along as well

After breakfast we walked along the waterfront by the river




An main attraction of the city is the Hölderlin tower where the poet spend his last years. It is now a small museum
Since Mia"s school is named after Hölderlin we checked it out



The view from Hölderlin's room



The next stop on the walking tour was the castle






Then we saw the market square

Some old streets






The old town hall


A town with many nice corners - it would be nice to be back on a nice warm summer day

Pfaffengrunder Terasse

On a walk on the first day of November - a public holiday in this part of Germany - walked we checked out the Pfaffengrunder Terasse - the new central square in Bahnstat where we played some frisbee and  ping pong


 On the way back it started to rain


Then the sun came out again
