With an ice cream you can admire beautifully renovated half-timbered houses. In Brückengasse there is a drinking water fountain in front of a bicycle shop, where you can fill up your drinking bottles.

Today I was truly a "good boy."
I mastered all the tasks my darling gave me with flying colors.
So my darling gave me 2 euros and allowed me to drive to Melsungen to eat ONE SCOOP OF ICE CREAM 😎🤣🤣
