Berching

View of the club house from our berth, no drinking water at the berth, should have topped up before we left Beilngries.

This photo is the view facing the Canal, you can see our lines on the dock, the dock is a little too short but you get to know your boat and learn the best way around it.

There was a nice surprise, this marina has a washing machine and dryer combo, 3,50 euro each load, took the opportunity to do the sheets, just as well we arrived just before lunch, had time to wash and dry the sheets then remake the bed before nightfall.

Walk into town, for dinner and look around now we have clean sheets.

Berching has a fully preserved town wall which rings the oldest part of the town and 13 towers and 4 ancient gates, one of the towers has been converted into a 6-story apartment. The first settlement was registered in 883, so it's more than 1100 years old.

One of the ancient gates

This photo is taken from inside the wall, you can see in the photo the top of the walk is still partially accessible.

Walking the wall, the following 3 photos show the construction

The town has a streamlet flowing through the centre, this statue is the end of it. It wasn't until I was writing about the streamlet that I realised I didn't take a photos of any of it. Martin and I walked over it a couple of times.
