Berching

Come along with me and visit a little Jewel.

Berching in Bavaria, Germany a favorite small town between Nürnberg and Regensburg.

On the way to Berching from Linz, Austria. with the Danube below.

A steep road takes you to one castle after another. 

Castles we would have missed had we not taken one of the small side roads. 

Go ahead and be brave, the GPS will always take you back. 

Even small and steep roads are well maintained.

More small highways and byways and another little village.

This is what all of these little houses would look like if they didn't get a new Putz.  I think I like the 
untouched version better.  A view probably not shared by its neighbors.  

Along the Castle Road many little burgs. 

With an honest to goodness Misthaufen.

Do they look like droopy eyes to you?

Part of the outside of the ancient Berching wall with one of the towers.  

Red marks the spot. 

Pretty sights everywhere.

And old cobble stone streets have gathered moss. 

An ancient wall, from the Middle Ages, encircles 1000 year old Berching. 

This is one of the corner towers, now made into a 6 story apartment. 

I have always wanted one of those little square windows.  That's not too much to ask, is it?

 A covered walkway on top of the ancient walls takes you to interesting sights.  

We stayed at the old Gristmill, the Stampfermühle, established in 1628.

The Gasthaus is known for it's excellent kitchen.  

Our table is by the Kachelofen.  We are cozy and warm.  And more wood outside to feed the fires.   

A week is not enough in this lovely spot.

Because you haven't even begun to explore the Altmültal, a glorious landscape with sweet meandering rivers. 

Maybe I will see you there.
