Limburg

The Altstadt mit Fachwerkhäusern (old town with half-timbered houses) has been renovated and is crowded with houses and shops with festooned gables.

St. George’s Cathedral in Limburg has stood in “Gothic Transitional Style” for 750 years on a spur of a rock high on the hill, and makes a picture-perfect reflection in the Lahn River below. We have seen several other churches with similar style steeples, called the Bishop’s Mitre, but of the hundreds of churches and cathedrals we have seen, this one is matchless on its perch on the hill.

One year we spent the night in our RV along the river in sight of the Cathedral. There were dozens of baby ducks in the river and wandering in the campsite.

Emmy again visited her favorite brass and copper shop in Limburg, and if I thought she was going to buy a brass pot, I was half right, she bought two. One was a gift for Cousin Toni.
