Heinrich went over to a little village
called Roth am der Our that has a celebration every year to remember
that America liberated Germany from the Nazis in World War 2. They
have a cool car show where all of the cars are trucks and jeeps and
motorcycles from the war.
They also have
one of the few sections of the German defensive wall left in Germany.
Almost all of the others were destroyed to keep Germany from being
able to be a threat to its neighbors. There was a kind of long and
steep climb up the hill to where the bunkers are located. Along the
way there were some wild berries that were just coming ripe. They
were delicious. On top you can see across the Our River to the border
of Luxemburg. Today it has beautiful pastures with peaceful cows. A
long time ago it was a battlefield. If you look in the middle you can
see one of the local hunters deer blinds.
Heinrich loves these berries and has found that they make a delicious berry syrup. We have not found out the name of the berry - they call them wilde fruchte (wild fruit). We know they aren't poison because we have eaten them and we were served them at an ice cream shop.
