Last look at Erfurt

Sign outside the church: 


Exterior views.


You can see it is early spring.


Beautiful place to sit. 


Still a university town with young people enjoying the warmer temperatures. 


Fun to see!

More from The Wartburg

Beautiful bedroom suite.
Even with all the dark wood, the light coming in through the window made this an inviting room.
Another treasure: 
A beautiful suit of armor.
And this:

Fine craftsmanship! Wow!

Parting shots.
The view of Eisenach below. 

And exterior of the Wartburg with a bit of restoration going on.

Wartburg castle

In the castle's chapel. Fading images but you can make out faces.


The chapel door-Glory to God in the Highest!


 
Fabulous woodwork in this ultimate multi-purpose  room.


So amazing to be in a castle!  And it is the one Luther hid in!


Up close view.
