9-15 August 2009
Yesterday, we took a tour of the area, stopping first to see the historical center of the village of Lupburg, definitely worth a stop if you’re in the Parsberg area.
Climbing the steps to the castle ruins
Water fountain from 1874
Lupburg church
Then we went to see Abensburg. We’d been to the bird park there previously, but not in the town. We sure missed out! This turns out to be one of our favorite cities in the area. A definite must-see for locals.
Church St Barbara
Geraniums
Part of the city wall
Old city gate
Hundertwasser tower
Stadtplatz (the ice cream shop on the left here was pretty excellent as well)

I loved your pics! Lots of character. I’d like to know more about that tower. I think you should consider joining up to Unknown Mami’s new Meme here: http://unknownmami.blogspot.com/2009/08/sundays-in-my-city_16.html
I’ll be back on Tuesday!
@Mrs4444: I don’t know anything about the tower, just that it was an old city gate there. Thanks for letting me know about the meme, I think two weekly projects are about all I can handle at the moment though
See you Tuesday!
