September 12, 2024,Detmold: Stadtrundgang

Since the weather forecast for today was not promising much, we decided to visit Detmold.
We walked through the palace gardens with its many water features, none of which were in operation, into the very attractive town center. After exploring it in detail, we returned to the starting point via the moat and through the avenue.
