Sunday - Tourist Attraction Edition.

First, here's the river again, from nearly the same spot, only about 13 months later.



Back then, we decided against a stroll in the park of the famous Lustschloss palace, but on Sunday we ambled through Carl Theodor's former hunting grounds.

Over the years, it's become a favourite place for families but especially couples to go on a walk and they've left their mark on the trees. This face at least is a little different from the usual initials and hearts:



Here's the main palace, or corps de logis seen from behind and from very far away. (It might be revealing a bit too much about myself, but for our P.E. lessons we had to run around that pond. I could go on and on about the memories connected to this place - I grew up not far from it, leaving the general area when I was 14 or 15.)



Completed in 1770, the palace complex, of which you will see more later on, is now maintained by a foundation (link in English) and houses three different museums, with a small natural history museum and one for 'European Garden Art' in the side wings. Side wings, you ask?



Here's is one of the windows of the garden museum:

The quotation here seen in mirror writing roughly translates as "The world was lost in a garden and it was saved in a garden". We shall return for a proper museum visit, maybe when the weather isn't quite as good.

Here's the main building again:
