Ramholz Castle

Highlight • Castle

A property built around 1890 that you wouldn't have expected in this architectural style... in private hands... the direct park is no longer accessible... still quite impressive

So I quickly called Kirk and Scotty from the Enterprise via our VPN connection...they were supposed to send a message to Aunt Aphrodite...I suspected that the beautiful maiden was somewhere in the Orion constellation.... 🤔 After Scotty …

February 4, 2023,Runde zum Taufstein (Rhön)

Today Roland H, Ralf 66, Mathias, Andreas and I drove to the baptismal font (near Kalbach) after days of rain. It was a nice round with sun and conclusion at the bakery / Cafe Happ in Schluechtern. When I got home I took 2 more pictures of the sky, which looked super interesting. Unfortunately, it doesn't come across so well...

March 14, 2024,Zeus trifft Aphrodite bei einem Cafe to go ☕️

I didn't feel like Spessart mud today, I'd much rather Rhön mud (Insider 😉)
