This weekend we planned to visit some friends next to Mannheim on Sunday, but that gave us an opportunity to visit some additional places in Germany on Saturday. First we went to historic Trier which is said to be the oldest town in Germany. Lots of Roman ruins (imperial bath and porta nigra) and holy buildings (the Cathedral of Trier and the Basilica) made it a very rich visit because they are all UNESCO World Heritage sites. Afterwards we went further north to Wierschem to visit Eltz Castle. This castle has been in the family Eltz for 33 generations and still is today! The drive thru the countryside was terrific as all the fall colors are still hanging on the trees. On Sunday we visited our friends in Biblis and took in some nearby cities: Bensheim and Worms. Check out the pictures from Bensheim, Trier and Elzt Castle.
