When you get great German weather...
You go outdoors!
This weekend we headed south of Kaiserslautern
We had to meet up with David Hobbs of Lifestyle Furniture.
He offered us/Dale table staining tips and the specialty stain to refinish out dining room piece.
We made it a full day of stops, but still kept it simple and easygoing.
We ate great food at Burg Lanbeck and enjoyed the countryside towns.
New roads were traveled and many pictures were taken!

Burg Berwartstein
Burg Lanbeck
Madenburg
The castle ruin "Madenburg" towers over Eschbach.
Their noble owners of the 15th century, were known as the knight and tournament society "with the donkey".
The people of Eschbach were subjects of the "donkey knights" and that is how the abbreviation "donkey" came about.
Since 2004 Eschbach has been decorated with 38 donkey statues
We found a few, plus other nice additions.
I do believe we may have to revisit to find them all!
Schmitburg
Sometimes our research fails us. Down 6km into a valley, I did not dress for this type of hike!
Schloss Dhaun
What a fantastic place for a party!
There was construction going on and not due for an opening until October 3, 2021.
But...a nice german lady led us into the amazing garden courtyard for a sneak peek!
WOW! Yes, I could have some wine and chill out here!
