However, to "Kloster Veßra" we went together.
I had visited this place before during winter and I knew that Elizabeth would love it.
Please go to our the web site which we prepared for this attraction.
It does not only show buildings and machinery from the past, there will be also concerts and other events. It is open all year long. But stay away on Mondays - many attractions are closed all over Thuringia on this day.
When I had visited this place in January you can see in our specific web site that this water wheel is covered with ice.
We love to visit similar places also in North America and cannot see too many differences. This is understandable because most of the settlers came from Europe to the "New World" and brought their culture with them..

This breathtaking spa It is called the "Terrassentherme Bad Colberg".
I went a couple of times to this place because I loved the various pools. All equipment is in place to help handicapped people into the water.
In the meantime a major renovation was done, but I do not know what they changed. I complained about the poor access to the cafeteria and compared to others the sauna was a little bit on the simple side. But still much nicer than those which I have seen in Canada.
In winter I enjoyed swimming from an indoor pool to the outside. In summer Elizabeth came with me and she did lots of sunbathing.
More details about this place you will find in our web site for Bad Colberg.
After Bad Colberg we became addicted to health spas. I love to do my exercises in the water and most spas granted us one free access. We thanked them by providing a free web site about our visit.

Close to Bad Colberg is a small town with name Heldburg. I included this village also in our basic tourist guide for Thuringia.
It is really a nice place and we had dinner in a local restaurant. Please visit the castle which carries the same name - but not on a Monday what I tried.
I still could walk around to take some pictures and the administration was very helpful by sending me some requested information as well as some pictures of an event.
I gladly will come back to improve my web site for this great attraction. But I must get the permission to drive right to the top. My walking got worse.
I visited more castles when I travelled alone. Elizabeth will certainly be interested to see the famous Wartburg in Eisenach. I enjoyed the guided tour very much and I will go with Elizabeth - I only hope that the donkey rides to the castle are still being offered. It is not an easy walk for me and I never had a ride on a donkey!
