With the Rick Steve’s guide book in hand, we decided to drive through Wine Road (Badische Weinstrasse) Wow! If ever there is a country with incredible eye candy, this had to be it! Spring in Europe is amazing! The trees are all in full bloom, the grass is a velvety green, the daffodils are all smiling and the vineyards are meticulously groomed. We went through the town of Staufen, hiked through vineyards to an old ruined castle and then ended up in Frieburg. Frieburg is a nice little city close to a University, eclectic in nature with a bit of a grungy feel. Oh, and did we mention the weather has been about 80 and sunny!
Highlights in Staufen:
The Castle... a view from on top...
The Vineyards
Freiburg:
A little history – the town was almost completely destroyed by bombs in 1944 – one of the only remaining buildings was the Munster Cathedral, which took over three centuries to build and was completed in 1513.
Bachle – tiny streams that run through the town
