We found a great book at the library the other day that describes several things to do that are very close by. On Saturday we decided to do the Route of the Five Castles very near Colmar, France. You can drive to all five of them, but there is also a nature walk through the woods which was quite nice. It was a raining so the forest offered shelter and allowed us to enjoy the day even though we didn't have ideal weather. The Hohlandsbourg Castle was the one most in tact and had a great wall surrounding the grounds. A stairway led up to the top where you could walk completely around the wall accompanied by midevil music broadcast through speakers. We were looking at some flowers and noticed some ENORMOUS bumble bees, but after a closer look they were actually the smallest hummingbirds we had ever seen! We had a terrific lunch in a town nearby when the weather got particularly bad, but it cleared up a little and Robert was able to take some great photos of the view from the castle.
