The Kunitz House Bridge, newly built in 2012, is beautifully restored. Inside, there's an information panel about the bridge's history. The square in front of the bridge is a lovely place to take a break.

April 15, 2022,Cyriaksruine und Burg 🏰 Camburg

Aiming for a goal today that is a little out of the normal field of vision. 😁 But it's worth it - both ascents to the Cyriaks ruins and Camburg Castle with the keep. For one euro there is also a guided tour with stories from the castle 🏰 and a wonderful view over the city and plain. 😁

Today, a visit to friends in Camburg was due. I took the opportunity to stop by the keep. Unfortunately, the castle garden was closed due to a wedding. On to the castle in Tümling, which is privately owned and houses an osteopathic practice.

I would have liked to take lots of pictures but! My bike was flat twice -> only pumping up the tyres worked and then my wife's bike was flat too -> only pumping up the tyres until we got to the finish line but the mood was still good
