After our visiting with cousin Fred’s family, we drove about 30 min over to Eppstein, another quaint old town with a castle up on top. We got there as the sun was setting and spent some time wandering and exploring this charming town set in a small narrow valley.
The castle, built in the 1100s, hovered over the town.
We hiked up to it and wandered around the outer walls. The gate was locked, but the views were free!
As it got dark, the lights came on the castle.
Such a picturesque little town!
Here are the 2 churches we went into–Protestant and Catholic:
The Catholic church:
It was too dark inside to take pics or see much.
This was interesting–a trash bag holder. Waiting for pick up in the morning.
Here’s the old Friedhof with a few stones left. We also saw memorials for the soldiers from Eppstein lost in WWI and WWII.
History and people are remembered here. I like that.
