It's another beautiful day in the Pfalz so we got on our bikes and went exploring some little towns hidden in the vineyards. Our first stop was Friedelsheim, which is southeast of Bad Dürkheim, and has a little church:
And it also used to have a nice castle though we didn't poke around it but we found the moat that used to belong to the castle ... this might be the first moat I've seen that is still intact and still has water in it though Martin is now telling me that most moats never had water in them to begin with but he's a liar:
Here's Martin reading a big sign telling about the history of the castle. I was too excited about the moat to read it.
Next we started to bike through the vineyards to another town south, Gönnheim, but got distracted taking pictures and turned right before we reached the town. This is looking back towards Friedelsheim:
This is looking back towards Friedelsheim too, after we turned off the main road and back into the vineyards:
We managed to find some grass paths to bike on in the vineyards, which is rare as almost all the paths are paved:
Then we found our way to Forst, which is a few towns south of Bad Dürkheim and we've always thought it was cute. This is the first time we took a few pictures of it and we also managed to find a good restaurant there that we plan to get back to for lunch or dinner:
Then we passed by the Wachenheim castle on the way back home and got a picture of the castle from the south side, which is its good side in my opinion:
