Miltenberg is another small town along the river, about 30 minutes from our last stop in Wertheim. The highlight here was being in the square for the welcoming of the Christkind and the opening of the market. There was a small local group of musicians, young and old, playing Christmas carols in the small square. There we stood, surrounded by old historic half-timber homes and shops, looking up at castle ruins on the mountain behind us, listening to angelic music in Germany. It was perfect.
The market was small but charming. We spent about an hour there, wandering and looking at the different offerings. Went into old churches, bought some Springerle cookies in a bakery. Enjoyed it all. We just soaked it all in.
Springerle cookies, like my Grandma Elsa used to make:
We were so happy to only pay .60 Euro for parking! What a delightful town!
