On Tuesday, October 26th, 2010, my parents took me on a daytrip to
Coburg. We parked in a Parkhaus in the center of town and made our way through narrow streets
across a Marktplatz
and after a bit of shopping (no yarn!) we had lunch in a Gasthaus.
After lunch, we hiked up to the Fortress Coburg. If you are not into historical buildings or fortresses built over several centuries, which were destroyed, restored, renovated, made accessible to the public and that house numerous historical artifacts and an art collection, don't bother reading on. ;)
