Mmmm.<br><br>I also got to hike around in Altenberg. There were ...

... also went to the Brüder Grimm Museum which I was really hyped up for but last weekend was Museums Nacht and too many people were in too old of a building at one time, so the old spiral staircase and part of the 2nd story ceiling started falling apart. Not a huge disaster but the 2nd and 3rd floors were closed and the 1st floor was all one exhibit on the fairy tale: Mutter Holle.
