Animals and Birds in Quiet Places

Favorite thing: I love visiting quiet places where I can get lost in nature and see some local wildlife. Schwetzingen is a perfect place to see both. There are no crowds to disturb the birds or animals. The heron was very still, he probably thought the greenery had camoufaged him. The little otters did draw a crowd and were delightful, the swan ignored everyone as swans do, but the one who stole the show was the tiny red squirrel. Yes little town, your wildlife is perfect.

Fondest memory: We have very few red squirrels in Scotland and it was a lovely surprise to meet one here in the gardens = my husband was so proud and delighted to capture one on camera - so not only a memory but a visual one we can both look back on.

Schwetzingen - A Real Gem

Favorite thing: Schwetzingen is a tiny old town nearby Heidlberg and Mannheim. Most people miss coming here in favour of bigger places with more attractions. I enjoyed every thing Schwetzingen had to offer. The town is a quiet, quaint, unhurried little gem. I particularly enjoyed wandering around some very quiet streets. The details on the houses captivated me with their colourful floral boxes, the little chickens on the slate porch roof, the flower design on the brick work and best of all, the use of trained trees to enhance more modern buildings.

Fondest memory: I have many many memories of Schwetzingen = if I had a favourite memory it would be something I cannot picture - the sound of the Church Bell when it broke the silence in this sleepy place.
