Germany - Treuchtlingen

This town was our base for two nights with good - again - cycling, walking, a wellness centre with pools and all the rest, and the use of a Topplatz motorhome site. Adjacent to the Stellplatze was a Kurpark of some 18ha. A Kurpark can best be described as a mixture of relaxation, walking, sunbathing, reading .... a quick visit to something that provides medicine for the soul and a feel good feeling of having seen something different. And then the sculpted art ....

A few examples:-

How many examples do you know of where you can walk in a park and find a mini library with a selection of 12 books for a quick read? Here's one such case, a box with lid and a bench denoting this to be for reading purposes only.

Reader's bench

!?

The roped 'walkways' lead to those black seat like things you see mounted further up. The whole contraption wobbles and moves and a steady nerve will be required to reach those seats. I was not seriously attempting to reach them, but Joan thought I was, and I summarily received a telling off .... ! She took a photo nevertheless.

Jungle Jim

Seen in the garden of the tourist information building, were these tree stems covered in knitted sock type covers. The building had lovely grounds with raked pathways and formal gardening at the entrance, it was certainly a cut above most other offices of this nature.
