Horseback-riding trip in August 2006
Like every year
we went on a five day horseback-riding trail along the famous Bergstraße.
Castles like Wachenburg, Alsbacher Schloss, Windeck and of course the
Heidelberg castle we passed on the way.
My sister, who
also prepared our House-Barrett tour, picked out this beautiful trail
to ride on.
For the first
time we made pictures on this trip. These pictures we want to share
with everybody, who lives far away. We want to show everybody the nice
landscape we are surrounded by.
If anyone in the near future plans
a trip to Germany and maybe wants to join us on a trip like this, just
let us know, we always have two horses left for someone to ride on.
If so, get in contact with the owner of the "House-Barrett kennel".

We started our trip in a little town called "Wurzelbach" |
Just a picture before the trip started |

Comanchero makes friends with Titan |
My sister`s horse |
|
|
It did not take long and we had to move some big branches |
of a whole tree which crossed our path |
|
|
Our first big stop |
was the town of Heppenheim |
|
|
The horses were able |
to drink out of the town well |
|
|
I had to show Comanchero not to be scared of this water |
He learned very quickly |
|
|
Rita with her horse Titan |
Comanchero had all kind of things to carry |
|
|
Beautiful sights |
We just had to stop and take another picture |
|
|
We usually had our breakfast outside on a nice porch |
The first castle on our way |
|
|
We had lunch at this castle "Windeck" |
The children came right away to pet the horses |
|
|
Nice fiew from the castle "Windeck" on to Weinheim |
A tower of the castle "Windeck" |
|
|
Our trails lead us through vineyards |
Sometimes we walked with our horses |
|
|
Even the horses had to stop at places at looked |
at the nice view |
|
|
Here we are in the old town of Weinheim |
A nice church we seen along the way |
|
|
When this picture was taken we were very tired, we had to walk
up a very narrow and steep path |
This was a very nice path through the woods |
|
|
We did get close to Heidelberg |
Another little wall, which was built in 1929 |
|
|
From this point we had a very nice view to the Heidelberg Castle |
My sister Rita filmed this trip with the Video Camera |
|
|
This was very interesting to look it |
This "Thingstätte" was built in 1935 and dedicated
by Goebbles in person to the national socialist times of Hitler in the year
1936 |

|
Dagmar with Comanchero |
This is a monastery |
|
|
It is located on the hill "Heiligenberg" |
The grave of "Friedrich von Hirsau", died in 1070 |

As always someone has to hold the horses |
Comanchero looks at the Heidelberg Castle |

Just before our destination on the last day we had a big problem |
|
|
trying to pass all this |
Somehow we made it; but it was not easy |
|
|
In the morning we were picked up by the owner of Bergere, a
dog out of our second litter (B-litter 1997), Bergere is a sister of Brix |
