I was fascinated by the architecture in Meerburg, which seemed both ancient and colorful, by the half-timber houses, especially this one built in the moat. Yes, the MOAT of a 7th century castle, complete with drawbridge, tower rooms, hunt room, armory, garden and cafe, of course.
The views of the Lake and of the local vineyards from the castle were spectacular.
From Meersburg we drove through the Black Forest, stopping at the World's Largest Cuckoo Clock so Mother could make a purchase. (Shipped home and arrived safely)
Our final adventure of the travel days was the GPS' fault. It tried to lead us on a shortcut through the corner of France, but there was no ferry when we got to the Rhine River. Next mistep was third right in the roundabout, which put us on a dirt road in a French cornfield. GPS recalculated and finally sent us back into Germany.
