Not to be outdone in feats of athleticism by his papa, and also newly enamored of ruins like his mama, Elias joined me today for a nearly 9-mile hike to see the Ruine Zaehringer Burg. We headed out the front door, up the road, and into the wooded hills. A few miles later, we stepped into the Gasthaus a short distance from the ruins to borrow the impressively large skeleton key that unlocks the tower door. From the top of the tower, the clear views in every direction made it obvious why their noble Lordships had the serfs lug all those rocks up the hill 700 years ago.
