Spargil Soup (White Asparagus Soup)

     

Chris had pork medallions in a mushroom sauce and Pam had Spargal

Desert was an Espresso with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream in it.

We went for a walk during the day to see the local Colmburg village which is only down the hill.

It was about lunchtime and there was very little going on - the town only has 44 streets.

The main little grocer shop was closed. 

There looked to be a pub and a pizza bar open.

It was now 12 o'clock and the Church bells started ringing we we decided to take a look in there.

     

We decided we would eat at the castle again since it was so nice the previous night.

      

A nice beer was in order on our return from the walk in the castle outdoor area.

     

The castle has a nice little annex for dinner with lovely views out over the farmland around the hotel.

     

For starters we both had a soup - Chris has a Carrot and Ginger Soup with a Prawn wrapped in a string of crunchy potato. Pam had a Wine soup which had a lot of cheese in it and it was very rich.     

For mains we both had a dish of Pork and Beef with a lovely Cognac sauce servers on a small sword.

Both dishes come with a potato rosti.

The soups were around 4 EURO and the mains 16 Euro.

We both had a wine, Pam a white wine and Chris had a red wine. The red wine tasted of Cherries and was ok but not something I would want again and Pam's was rather not nice. About 4 Euro each.

There was no room left for anything else..

A nice evening.

There is a lot of dead animals all over the inside of the castle including Bird, Phesants, Ducks, Goats, Deer, Bears.

          

          

          

          

          

          

          

           

The reception area in the hotel was very nice although we did not really use it at all.

         

    

Some tasty options for breakfast

          

          

We drove from Neckargemund to Rothernburg today and it was a quick little drive.

Along the way we stopped at a little town and saw a funny little car. There was a museum but it was closed on the day we drove through so we took the opportunity to use their toilets. There was also a church with lovely art work all over the ceiling.

        

The GPS took us down the main street with all the tourists and we found the hotel. We could not check in until 3pm so we dropped out bags off and parked the car in their parking facility (6 EURO per day) and went for a walk.

     

The good old Heffiweizen...

One of the town gates - we drove through this into the town.
