Day Trip: Bechburg Castle

Rob came to Switzerland with a promise of work with the same company that Eden works for. But when he did something a little too efficient for his position in the comany, it offended a superior and somehow lead to his current state of unemployment. Normally one would think that this is a not so good situation with college loans, rent, & the normal stack of bills, but during my visit it was a good situation because he and I were able to drive all over Switzerland. During my two weeks in Switzerand we saw a lot together.

Our first trip was a small one, a half hour away, to [Bechburg Castle] . It currently serves the community as an art gallery, cafe, and community center.

I want a [stone spiral staircase] like this in my castle some day. [climbing the tower] [the tower was pretty high] [town of Bechberg below] [Rob at the top] [your truely] [on top] [2]

After exploring the castle we drove up to a small Gästehaus. From there we hiked up to explore [the cliffs] above the castle. At the top I kept kicking myself for forgetting my camera in the car because the 360º view was fantastic. The winds were just right on the cliffs so that you could hear the cowbells from the valley on one side and the train on the other.

I have a gap from c.1461 (Falkenstein>Ffauw>Pfauz) until c.1690 (PFAUTZ) in Rohrbach, De. I know this is my line because about 9 families that moved with and intermarried were from Mulhouse, S.E. c. 80 Km, to Oberklum , Huber( President Herbert Hoover's line). Niev(Neff), Maust (Mast), Spainhour, Yanz (Younce).
