Quedlinburg


Quedlinburg was truly and amazing city.  There are so many fachwerk (half-timbered)  houses some that are over 500 years old, it was unbelieveable.  I think that the oldest house in Germany is here.  While I was there I ran into a couple of Journeyman Chimneysweeps at the Ritterfest. (Medieval Faire)  It is supposed to be really good luck to talk to them, so I said  hi.  Fest was actually in an old Noble's House and  courtyard.  I spent two days there and really saw a great deal of the city.  The castle and castle church were really interesting. Next stop Weimar
