I know two places I want to go while we are in Germany. I've been looking at the
travel guide. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

We have just got to visit Hameln

Hameln town is delightfully situated in the broad Weser valley between two hills,
the Klut and the Schweinberg. Hameln is famed as the city of the Pied Piper and on
every Sunday in the summer months at 1200 hrs there is a re-enactment of the
story. The old town has many half-timbered houses and buildings in the Weser
renaissance style. The town is delightful to walk around or to do your shopping.

And we have just got to go to Externsteine to see these standing stones.

Situated just before the town of Horn - Bad Meinberg. This is a Stone Age
settlement (pictured left), where the ancient Germans worshipped the sun. There
is a group of bizarre shaped rocks which can be climbed. The highest being nearly
40 metres high. The rocks were once the centre of a pagan shrine and later a
place of Christian pilgrimage. There are some pleasant walks around this sight.

Now who did you say was going to be our guide through Germany, because I am
packed and waiting for the rest of you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
