This is a note on church bells in Germany, if you don't like church bells do not come, it seems that for any reason someone will start ringing and then the others seem to join in, not just here but everywhere we went in Germany.
We walked into town via the back gate and riverside path, much quicker than by the road, had a look in the tourist info office but got sick of being ignored and left with no info. Walked through the park and back to town on the other side of the river, looked into the thermal baths but didn't try them, then went off to see where the train station was.
The sky started to turn black and we headed into the town centre, we know what rain can be like on the continent. We made it to the bakers just as the heavens opened, but I wasn't getting stuck at a bakers in a rain storm again, see Dijon France 2003 so we continued on to an ice-cream shop/cafe where we could get a couple of beers while we sat out the storm.
As soon as the rain stopped we headed straight back to the van, later in the afternoon when it brightened up, we walked the other way along the river and got some fantastic looking beef stakes and pork chops from Netto. Did I mention there's a Netto on the other side of the campsite to the Lidl, there's supposed to be a shop on site but what's the point, although on the Eco Camping website it states "Daily sale of fresh fruit and vegetables during season" so maybe the shop opens in high season. As this site is an Eco campsite, you can be asked to leave if you do not recycle properly and they take it very seriously there are separate bins for everything.
On the way back to the van, we stopped off at reception to get our passes renewed, we had only booked two days for definite but with the option of staying for a week (all to do with some pitches being prebooked).
On the evening we had a walk into town, then up the hill a way towards the castle, there were very pretty houses and a lake up there. We then stopped off at a very nice restaurant for a couple of drinks and on the way down, we also found an Indian restaurant but it was not open.
