Bridge Over the Mühlgraben

Highlight • Bridge

Actually, we were supposed to go to Frankfurt today. But since the train company had decided not to run any trains from our station to Frankfurt from midday until the evening, all that was left was a leisurely stroll through Wetzlar 😅.

At the end a small city tour through Wetzlar came out. For those who don't know Wetzlar, I left a comment on each photo.
