The first weekend we were here we met up with Leonie, and took a tram to Weinheim which is quite a big town and has really good rail connections. We admired the beautiful historic old town and the castle park and garden's (Schlosspark) before climbing up to the ruins of the Castle of Windeck. Built in 1100 it has panoramic views over Weinheim, there were preparations within the castle courtyard for a wedding that afternoon. The walk up to the castle includes the Gruffalo Walk (a childrens book) as the translator of the book is from Weinheim.
We then spent the afternoon helping at Daniel's vineyard at Schriesheim (since he has a fractured arm!)Read more
