Favorite place

On Wednesday, I walked from Freiburg to Sexau--mostly flat terrain paralleling the train tracks--then up to the Hochburg ruins, and back down on the other side to the Emmendingen train station, where I hopped on a train back to Freiburg. 

The Hochburg ruins are one of my favorite places in Germany--a perfect mix of ruinous detail, density, and decay, plus verdant valley views in all directions--so I'm glad to have been able to visit them again. The only thing missing was an 8-year-old with whom to enjoy them.

Name that grain (answer below)

Heading up to Hochburg from Sexau


First time through this tunnel entrance...



An excellent color palette




Oops, how'd that get in here?





Cows...We're remarkable cows...
And wherever we go it's a fabulous show,
oh you know we are cows...

On the west side of the hill below Hochburg, someone had planted rows of different grains with identifying signage.

Answer key
