Visited the lake dwelling settlement at 88690 Uhldingen-Mühlhofen, District Unteruhldingen / Germany. Worth every cent. We had a great time there today. I was there as a child myself and I hope that mine will also keep this in good memory 😀

Hohenzollern
Visited Castle Hohenzollern 72379 / Germany. Well.. can’t say much. It’s very huge, tourist oriented and kinda expensive (parking, shuttle, entry, entry and tour, food.. you name it). We skipped the exhibits due to time and costs and just enjoyed the view. It’s probably worth a visit but bring your wallet along and expect crowds.
NYM cable
Today from the #HobbyArcheology department: A NYM cable ~10cm belowground across the garden. What could possibly go wrong?
