I Heart Würzburg…

When my parents told me that they had made plans to visit Würzburg, I was a bit suspicious. Although a co-worker of mine was dating someone there (they’re now married), I’d never heard of Würzburg, a city about an hour and a half from Heidelberg, referred to as any kind of tourist Mecca. After spending the night in Rothenburg on Saturday, we took the 45 minute or so drive up to Würzburg. What can I say? I LOVED IT!

The rich red steeple of the Marienkapelle can be see throughout the city. IMG_3020 (683x1024)IMG_3023 (683x1024)The Faulkenhouse next door is a beautiful example of Roccoco on overdrive.

We then walked onto the Ludwigsbrücke, which in my opinion is at least as beautiful as the bridge in Heidelberg. IMG_3121 (1024x683)

It is even overlooked by a lovely palace on a high hill. The morning sun and a bit of mist made getting a shot challenging.IMG_3108 (1024x657)
