Took a trip today to get a bird's eye view. My first thought was how do they farm these steep hills. Then we found out. Look at the tractor coming straight up!

Meet a nice young couple in the Martinskirche Möhringen church. They were setting up for their wedding tomorrow. The groom spoke fluent English. We wished them well. God bless them. Here are the pictures of the church. Impressive!

Long time since I have seen one of these. Also saw a cigarette machine.

Left Hotel City Krone this morning. I found some interesting history about the hotel. Originally in this area the HOTEL CITY-KRONE is placed now, stood in the old days THE KRONEN BREWERY, owned by Max Schöllhorn, founded in 1875. This can still be seen by the Hotels name and the cellar deep underneath the earth, protected by thick walls, which is called the “Schlaraffenkeller”. In this cellar they kept the ice for brewing the beer.

During the Second World War, the brewery was completely destroyed, just like the most buildings in Friedrichshafen. After the war, Alfons Schöllhorn built a simple guest house with only a few rooms. Arrived in Berkheim. Tomorrow will drive to see Möhringen. Stay tuned.
