Postcard #24 – Sigmaringen, Germany
We remembered the little town of Sigmarigen on the Danube from the first time we were here, in 2013. It is still as pretty!

Postcard #23 – Mindelheim, Germany
The amusing thing is that this restaurant with its painted façade in Mindelheim in Swabia in south-western Germany is Greek, which appears to be the second most popular ethnic restaurant in Germany after the Italian pizzeria.

Postcard #22 – Burghausen, Germany

Postcard from Germany – Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg
