After Andrew finished school today we went up on the Alb. Here in Southern Germany the Alps have their start. The foothills are known as the Alb. We started out with a visit to the Nebelhöhle – a large cave with lots of great rock formations. It was cool and dark and wet with lots of big chambers full of stalactites and stalagmites. Close to the Nebelhöhle is a castle called Schloss Lichtenstein, where we had a spectacular view of the entire area. This castle has been built near an even older ruin. The castle itself juts up from sheer rock walls – very impressive. We had Kaffee und Kuchen (and ice cream) near the castle. Then headed home, stopping on the way in Offenhausen, the small village where Martin was born. It was another great day.
