The view from the castle over the rooftops of the medieval town center of Tübingen. Behind the castle, Hohentübingen, the long Schloßberg (castle mountain) stretched out at which very end I lived. On Saturday mornings I often walked into the town center and sometimes I took the shortcut through the castle. I always enjoyed this beautiful view over the rooftops of Tübingen. To the right, just outside the picture, was the river Neckar (remember where we did the punting). The big church you can see is the Stiftskirche, the main Protestant church in Tübingen, a Gothic era church. On weekends you can climb up to the tower - this is actually where the Geek and I had our first kiss!! Quite romantic, isn't it?
What a beautiful place, Carola. I love the view of the rooftops!
ReplyDeleteA very romantic scene, indeed.

So this was your hometown? How charming! Such a romantic place for a first kiss.....
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! Very romantic too!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is romantic!! Our history here is so "short" in comparison to Europe. I think it adds a whole extra dimension to life. I look forward to visiting some of those places again some day!

ReplyDeleteEnvy, lots of envy, that this is where you take a Saturday walk. The colors, the architecture - oh, envy!!!!
ReplyDeleteI never get enough of the pictures of medieval towns. Old buildings, castles, ruins... - agh, so nice! You were lucky to live there and that first kiss had to be really special :).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Carola! This is such a picturesque place; no wonder you miss Germany so much! I am putting Tübingen on my list of places to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to hear from you this week! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Carola, your vibrant birdie page is gorgeous. The brilliant green is exciting and beautiful.
