This morning we left France crossing the Rhine River making our way into Germany through the Black Forest. The name Black Forest comes from the general dark colour of the numerous pine trees that grow in this region, as you can see from the photo below.
Our first stop today was at Rottenburg Am Neckar, we parked the car, walked across the bridge into the old town and had lunch at the local bakery.
Hohenzollern Castle was on our way to Tübingen. We enjoyed taking photos leading up to the castle, however we decided we didn’t have the time to park the car, get the shuttle bus and then wait in line to walk through the castle. Instead we enjoyed the view from afar and took a sneaky photo of the old castle gate.
Once we arrived in Tübingen we checked into our hotel and made the very short walk into the Old Town. The bridge, Eberhardsbrücke, offered the most amazing view of the Neckar River, where many locals had come out to enjoy the weather and watch the gondolas.
We made our way to the Marktplatz through the old town enjoying the atmosphere.
Tourists and locals alike were gathered around the Stiftskirche enjoying a drink or ice cream in what had turned into a really warm day.
Around the Rathaus in the Marktplatz people were busy setting up for the night markets.
We really enjoyed Tübingen and is one of the highlights of our trip so far.
