Our feet are killing us ... three days of walking and there is so much to see

Sag mal Manfred, ist das ungefaehr die Stelle, an der das Haus von deinem Vater stand? Ich nehme an anstelle des Steines war frueher ein Kriegsdenkmal?

Mike walks along the Lange Strasse with long strides.

The old castle on the Oder is being renovated .. a European Union funded project.

Another view of the castle with scaffolding for rendering and replacing windows. They are doing a fabulous job ... you can imagine how great this will look when it is finished.

The ancient Ratibor Brewery ... we saw a lot of the brewery equipment in the Ratibor Museum.

A bright and cheerful house on Lange Strasse.

The old Husaren Kaserne, sadly in very bad repair. A lot of the buildings were burnt when the Russians occupied this area in WW2, perhaps this is what happened to this magnificent structure.

Another lovely but run down house in Ostrog, a suburb of Ratibor.

One can only guess how magnificent this house looked in the 1930s.
