This little town about 90 minutes from Frankfurt is the gem capital of Germany. It is tucked away in the mountains, really out-of-the-way from major cities. They specialize in semi-precious stones from all over the world.
Joanne picked up a labradorite pendant and earrings.
The church was closed for renovation, but it is rather odd to literally have it carved into the side of the rock. A local legend says that two prince brothers got in an argument at the top of the rock and one pushed the other off the cliff. As penance for his murderous rage, the other brother built this church. Who knows if that is true.
At some point on every adventure, it becomes about where we are going to have a meal. In this little town we found a great restaurant and had a scrumptious meal that we watched being roasted in the fire pit. (the rack spun around to help it cook evenly)
