Last night we wanted to have a look at Aschaffenburg and what delicious food. That worked out with the food, we were in the sensationally good pizzeria Orso Rosso, rarely had such perfect service and such an ingenious pizza. The city tour fell more or less into the water. We went from the hotel to the city via the Schönbuschallee …

May 9, 2023,Kleiner Spaziergang durch Aschaffenburg

Unfortunately, we were only able to start today's round to Aschaffenburg and Schloss Johannisberg late because I didn't finish earlier.
Therefore, after the meal in the excellent pizzeria Orso Rosso, the rain caught up with us and we are on our way back to the hotel.
