Weekly Winners – Lupburg and Abensburg, Bavaria

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.

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.

Again wonderful travel shots, but my favorite is the first one looking up the stairs.

Loving the clouds in the background of the Lupburg Church shot and the perspective of the Church St. Barbara. :-)

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!
