Off again soon! 

Starting out following in the footsteps of the mystic, composer and generally all round fascinating Hildegard von Bingen.

    May your road be long, pleasant and great fun, Janet. From a fellow-walker who'll be on the Milford Track in December - a minuscule achievement compared with what you have planned.

Frankfurt - on the way, but yet to start.

An interesting stone house between the villages. The police station was an impressive old building. Idar-Oberstein is one those towns which appear to be two separate ones merging into each other, not unlike Cockburn on the SA / NSW border or Albury-Wodonga.  This whole area is famous for its rocks and minerals, and Hildergard von Bingen was quite vocal in her praise of them, particularly those she deemed to have healing properties.
