Ladenburg, Germany



















Ladenburg is the home of Karl Benz, the inventor of the automobile! It is just down the road from Mannheim and offers a terrific restaurant called 'Die Kartoffel' - The Potato. The Potato offers soups, appetizers, main dishes and even desserts all made from potatoes! They serve very large baked potatoes with a huge variety of toppings, but their claim-to-fame is their 'hot stones'. These stones are heated to searing temperatures and brought to your table with your choice of meet. You cook your meal at the table and dip it into three different sauces of your liking (YUMMY!!). Ladenburg was founded by the Romans and has a beautiful downtown with very old half-timbered houses. A great side trip if you're visiting Heidelberg. Robert didn't have his camera, but you can see other pictures of Ladenburg here.
