It's not as nicely refurbished as the other houses (the paint is not that shiny and fresh, the wood looks older) but that's exactly why I like it. It stands in good condition but it has soul, too. http://www.safaribears.de/content.php?page=SlideshowWaiblingen&image=5 006 Sorry for that. This is the only picture from that little chapel, I had a bit problem with the sun. http://www.safaribears.de/content.php?page=SlideshowWaiblingen&image=6 007 Right next to that chapel is a big church, and we went inside. http://www.safaribears.de/content.php?page=SlideshowWaiblingen&image=7 008 http://www.safaribears.de/content.php?page=SlideshowWaiblingen&image=8 009 http://www.safaribears.de/content.php?page=SlideshowWaiblingen&image=9 010 Just like many of those old towns in our area, Waiblingen has a High Watchtower, too, build in the 11th/12th century. Usually they came before a city wall. Marbach has one, too. http://www.safaribears.de/content.php?page=SlideshowWaiblingen&image=10 011 That's why Waiblingen is on the Fachwerkstraße :-) http://www.safaribears.de/content.php?page=SlideshowWaiblingen&image=11 012 This is another of my favourites. It's just another ordinary expertly preserved half-timbered house, but what makes it so nice and different is the colour of the wooden beams. http://www.safaribears.de/content.php?page=SlideshowWaiblingen&image=12 013 The 'Kameralamt' (old lower level office of the tax authority). http://www.safaribears.de/content.php?page=SlideshowWaiblingen&image=13
