Erbach

On Saturday we looked at all of the festivals and decided to go to the Erdbeerefest. So we got the kids ready, got in the car, put in the address we were pretty sure was the right one into the phone, and drove off.

And drove

And drove

And drove

And admired the landscape

And after about an hour and a half arrived at this cute little town

And we couldn't find the festival, but we kept passing all these cool looking buildings, so we got out and got some ice cream from a little ice cream shop and asked about the Erdbeerefest and found out that we were in the wrong place. But the whole town was cool german buildings, and we could see cool spires, so headed off to check those out. 

There was a bridge 

And then a wall before we could see them 

And then we really saw the cool old town!

   

It's a very sweet little old german town. Everyone was very friendly, and we were pretty much the only tourists there.

There was this pretty blue house that was built in the 1500s and the lady that lives there greeted us as we walked past, and there's a father and son that run a cool little wicker shop.

Talmage made a new friend

And we explored for the next three hours. :)

As we were leaving this is one of the last buildings we saw. I thought it was two buildings at first, but from what I understand, the Erdbach Palace was first built in the 1300s and was added onto for like 400 years after that, and thats why the tower is so old, while the front looks like it could be from the 1800s.
