A Snowy Pigrimage

Philip found himself with a free afternoon yesterday and was determined to visit a Church that is on the mountain on the other side of the Alt Mülh River, at a higher elevation than the castle which we visited in October with Mom and Dad Harold. 


The path was steep and snowy and his vision a little impaired by the falling snow.  He wasn't quite sure he was even going the right way, but finally saw the little Frauenberg Kapella in a clump of trees.  The hard work of the hike was worth it, and now that we have 4 days left, there is little left of Eichstätt that we haven't seen!

  1. What gorgeous pictures! The chapel is beautiful. I especially liked the bottles of wine for Baby Jesus.

  3. Haha! Jenny, thank you for pointing out the wine bottles. I zoomed in on that picture and it looks like there is also a barrel of brooms and mops and shovels behind the wine bottles. Funny! Also, Phil noticed a similar picture of the Rathaus in the newspaper but the snow on the wooden fountain cover had been wiped off by the photographer first. A professional! :)
