Spitz  16/9/2009

View of Spitz from the hill.

The town is surrounded by grape vines, as well as all sorts of  fruit trees.

At Spitz the next day we split up to do various hikes. Alexander did an enormous hike through the steep hills. Debbie did quite long hike as well. We visited the church which was for once Gothic and much more understated than the churches we had seen previously. We loved this row of sculptures of the saints. Then we went on a short hike up a hill to the top of the town and after lunch walked to a really good museum dealing with the history of shipping on the Danube.














It was a lovely day but we were all glad to be back together in the evening for our glass (or two) of sturm on the hotel terrace then inside for dinner.
