Tristan Pointed out this really cute chapel…
…looking over Landstuhl from the Schlossruine Nanstein Castle
Landstuhl
Atlas thinks the chapel is cool, also!

Fountain with a Camino de Santiago symbol
The oldest houses in Landstuhl are from around the 16th century.

On to Ehemalige Festung Homburg
Homburg
With castle ruins comes more tunnels and stairs
A scratching of the 250-million-year-old ichthyosaur remains they found in the limestone in 1968.
The sign says it’s dangerous. I had to check it out. When I stepped on the floor and started to sink in the much, I decide the sign was not kidding.
Another danger sign
Where I would have come out if I have ventured past the muck
Atlas eared me that I was a wimp for not going through the dangerous tunnel.
I came across a wheelbarrow on a landing looking for the restroom at an Asian restaurant. I got confused. It could have been from jet lag, the Dragon Fruit drink, or the pole dancing. It’s hard to say.

Off Center & Not Even 
Cute homes, chapel, and cat. Did you adopt Atlas on your travels?
Yes. Atlas is a good travel kitty. Thanks, Brad.
I LOVE the interior of the little chapter!
The interior is adorned with medieval frescoes. They are beautiful, and the critters are fun. The bird on the ceiling that looks like a goose is an eagle. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
It’s always good to see what a smart cat is thinking… Atlas, a great name for a beautiful cat.
Atlas is an interactive cat. He has a lot to say about 42. Thanks, Herman.
I truly appreciate your sharing all these wonderfully detailed photos in the tour you are giving us of your journey. Wishing you a continued wonderful trip!
Thanks, Susan. There is so much history and interesting things to photograph. I’m happy I can share the images.
Wonderful. Love Atlas. Great pictures and do not go into the places with warnings on them. LOL Ever.
I always check it out to see if the danger is real. It’s probably a guy thing. Thanks, Gigi.
Definitely a guy thing. Ask anyone who works in an ER.
So true. In my youth, riding and racing motorcycles, Evel Knievel was one of my motorcycle heroes. He inspired me to do high jumps on my motorcycle. I’m surprised I lived to tell about it when I look back on how crazy I was. When anyone meets one of my old buddies, the first thing he tells them about is my high jumps on the motorcycle. Especially the time he was a passenger and I took him for a jump.
My son was not allowed out until I was ready, so I could take him to the ER. We were there so often. Once a motorcycle gang brought him home and told me he was doing things on his bike, they wouldn’t do. I just thank them and signed. He was so fearless and I think he had that gene that made him always want to do scary and dangerous things. When he got a truly fast motorcycle, he would fly down the Dan Ryan expressway, between the cars at 100 mph. I never worried about him. If I did, I wouldn’t have had anytime do to anything else. He died from leukemia, so nothing he did that was crazy was as dangerous as that.
You sound like you could have been friends. Bikes to motorcycles and ramps and all the rest. Completely insane. He would come home and look so pumped and happy. I was just happy he was alive.
Oh! I’m so sorry that you lost him to leukemia. That is just too sad. His subconscious sensed the real danger and encouraged him to live fast and enjoy the thrills of motorcycling while he could. At least he was able to speed down the fast lane, happy to be alive while he was able.
That’s the truth. He left his 5 year old son but we have him and he’s all grown up. He’s not as crazy as his father, at least not as much. LOL And he did everything he wanted to do while he was alive. Thank you.
Such Amazing architecture! Very cute! Kitty too. I lived in Soangdalem and Munich for awhile. Keep having a wonderful getaway.
Thanks, Holly. I’ll be posting the fun for a month.
Lucky guy Being over here. Have fun.
The pictures are wonderful. Such great history. Although climbing those stairs would probably kill me! The tunnels would be great an adventure but no.. I think I would be claustrophobic.
The cat looks so cute, I thought he was Spunk for a moment 🤣
Fortunately, I’m not claustrophobic. Thanks, Becky.
An incredible adventure you are all having and Atlas is quite photogenic. Thank you for sharing your travels. Splendid view of Homburg, with the clouds closing in.
We got rained on from time to time, and it was cold, but fun. No rain today, but it’s still cold. Thanks, Michele.
Oh these are great and don’t forget to take some of you and Samantha too! 💕
Thanks, Cindy.
❤️❤️❤️
These are wonderful photographs. The chapel is beautiful
Thanks, Robbie. I’m having fun.
😊
I appreciate the great variety, Tim. Well… the steps up the hill did make me shudder a second or two. The thought thast I would never make it to the top. Hehe! Cheers.
You have to think back to the times when you could make it to the top. Thanks, Inchy
Sad. I did love walking and doing the hill climbing back then in Darley Dale. Of course, I was alive then. Hahaha!
Cheeers Tim.
What a beautiful chapel, and town, Tim! Atlas is one handsome kitty.
Atlas is handsome, and super soft. Thanks, Lavinia.
I love old churches!
Thanks, Dawn.
It sure is a cute chapel Tim! Great shots and a very handsome kitty..
Thanks, Julie.
