Saarburg - nice intro to Germany

view of Saarburg from bridge over Saar

We walked the river path into Saarburg and went into an Antique Market (or German junk depending on your point of view) for an hour. Rosemary bought an old English postcard with Nottingham Castle on it.
It was a very picturesque place with ruined castle, river boats, waterfall and many old churches and buildings. We saw a few of the sights including wedding photos in the castle (not from Leicestershire this time) and took lots of photos. Our German friends had bought us a nice bottle of Saar Reisling for helping them and we finished it off with the first real BBQ of the holiday.
