Marburg

The other day I went to Marburg, home of Professor Lotz, and I have to say it’s one of the prettiest cities I’ve been to in Germany... although I have to also say that it’s by far the most difficult city for me to get around in. The Altstadt is situated on a really big hil (small mountain) and to see it you have to go up really steep slopes and stairs. They do actually have an elevator but it only takes you about 1/4 of the way up. Anyway, here’s a few pictures as I made my ascent:






I started following the signs towards the castle on the top of the hill but didn’t realize just how high it was. I just kept telling myself, “well I’ve come this far, I might as well keep going”. But the last leg was by far the most difficult... trust me, it was steeper than it looks.

Finally the castle is within sight:

and at last I summit the mountain. Here’s the view from above:



It took me the better part of the afternoon to climb Everest so I didn’t have time to do much else but make my way down (much easier going down). But I did make sure to stop by the famous Cafe Vetter.
