Eppstein

After visiting Limburg, we drove to nearby Eppstein, to introduce this place to our friends who haven’t been here yet.  We were happy to be back.  We hiked up the hill to the castle ruins. They were preparing for a theatrical performance there this evening. There’s a small museum on top that was closed last time. We enjoyed it and the views.

Here’s the Talkirche, built in 1430.

We hiked up to the castle that overlooks the town.

Many of these old castles are used for local events or concerts.

Here’s the small museum that was up inside the castle.

Look at this stonework!

After coming down from the castle, we wandered over to the old church and the old Friedhof.  It was peaceful and quiet in town and the old church is beautiful.

The St Laurentius Catholic Church felt beautiful and reverent.  What a lovely spirit there.

Cobblestone street repair:

There are only a few stones left standing at the old cemetery.
