September Holiday: Sunday, 21.09.2025

As had been forecast, Sunday saw a radical change from summerly sunshine and warm temperatures to cooler and wetter weather. It wasn‘t exactly cold yet at 19 C, but rained on and off (more on than off) all day.

Morning view from our room

Still, we caught a time mid-morning when the rain let up and even stopped for a while, and of course we quickly donned our rain jackets and went out.

Our Art Deco front door

Along our street are some beautiful buildings, and we also went inside the church in our neighbourhood.

This old door from 17-something reached maybe chest high for us.

Up the steep slope between the ubiquitous vineyards, we soon reached the skywalk.

From there, it wasn‘t far to the top of the hill, where a park with sculpures and benches, playgrounds and a visitor centre with a tiny library, café and meeting rooms is.

Before reaching the houses of Kues again, we came across this chapel:

Our way back through residential streets was interesting, too (we love looking at houses), but the rain was gaining intensity by then, and so we spent the afternoon in our room resting and reading.

The hotel‘s restaurant is closed on Sundays, so we had to find an alternative for dinner. A short walk along the river took us to a place that had a table for us in spite of us not having booked in advance. We enjoyed the meal, prices were very reasonable and service friendly.

On our way back to the hotel, not only did we see a rainbow (better than in the photos), but also caught a beautiful sunset to end this very relaxing day.
