The suggested format is that this is a discussion thread about the places along the route, links allowed in moderation, any food mentioned is vegan. Sort of like a treasure hunt for information, yet no teams, people sharing what they find.

Hiraeth

I can’t find a video either of the „ Nachtwächter tour in Bad Kissingen .But if you go on the website .Badkissingen–erleben.de there’s some info and the route .

Thank you.

LINK > NACHTWÄCHTERTOUR

> (via Google translate) There are several themed tours in Bad Kissingen that ideally complement the classic city tours and offer interesting insights into special facets of the city's history. The night watchman once had the task of ensuring peace and order in the evening and night hours. In this tour, the former figure of the night watchman comes to life again for you. Get to know the idyllic city from a completely different perspective.

Noswaith dda, Hiraeth

Good evening, Hiraeth

If you type out the name of the title of the video into a post I will try to find it and add it into this thread if you like.

If you are using a computer running Windows, I can explain how to do it if you would like that.

If you are using some other device maybe someone else can explain for that device.

Bad Kissingen has a beautiful Spa . Perhaps a relaxing day at the Spa would be a good idea ?
P.s I’d love to send a video ive found on you tube but no idea how ?

The rose garden sounds lovely, thanks.
I shall enjoy that.

StarDreamer Tue 02-Aug-22 18:44:46

I hope you will get better.

Would a virtual walk around the rose garden in Bad Kissingen help, or is all a bit much at present?

MissAdventure Tue 02-Aug-22 17:23:02

Helloo! Sorry have been quiet.
Not feeling so well these last few days.

StarDreamer Tue 02-Aug-22 17:20:08

I have tried to find a video of the night watchman tour without success. Can anyone find the night watchman tour within a more general video about Bad Kissingen please?

StarDreamer Tue 02-Aug-22 17:18:04

Here we are in Bad Kissingen.

The following video starts off for about a minute and a quarter with music and a highlights sequence. It then goes into a hot roll sequence, quiet except for what I think may be the sound of water from the fountain but might be wind. I have not watched it all as I post this post, but what I have watched is, in my opinion, well worth watching, as it is a peaceful walk looking at flowers.

Gute Reise!

Das weiße Straßenschiff ist unterwegs.

StarDreamer Tue 02-Aug-22 13:57:56

Having enjoyed our lunch, we can get aboard Das weiße Straßenschiff for our overland journey to Bad Kissingen.

A bit of simulation licence here as I don't know from which direction is the driving in the video. But it is driving on roads.

StarDreamer Tue 02-Aug-22 10:28:48

This morning in Schweinfurt and have that food for an early lunch.

Then by coach to Bad Kissingen this afternoon.

A different coach today.

The coach today has the name Das weiße Straßenschiff.

This means staying overnight in Bad Kissingen, so a hotel is needed.

So, the next day we could go toverland o Bad Neustadt an der Saale.

Then back to Schweinfurt overland by a direct route.

Why not go on a tour of Bad Kissinger with their Night Watchman? badkissingen-erleben.de/freizeit/night-watchman-tour/?lang=en looks fun. www.happycow.net/reviews/tommys-braterei-bad-kissingen-289943 looks good for a snack ( if you have room after that feast in Schweinfurt!)

StarDreamer Mon 01-Aug-22 20:06:43

Yes, we are staying moored at Schweinfurt this evening.

Tomorrow morning in Schweinfurt and have that food for an early lunch.

After eating we can go overland to Bad Kissingen.

I have not watched it all. It is a POPtravel video, and POPtravel videos are good.

MissAdventure Mon 01-Aug-22 15:33:58

That looks great all lit up, particularly. smile

Der Goldene Delfin has now left from Volkach and is on the way along the river Main to Schweinfurt.

That was a good feed.

Well, as we found a hotel, we are still in Würzburg this morning.

So we can go and have a look at Würzburger Dom, the Würzburg Cathedral, and then we can visit the Residenz.

Later we can travel back overland to Volkach on Der weiße Pelikan and go back aboard Der Goldene Delfin so that we can continue on our river cruise tomorrow.

Yet today we are in Würzburg.

That soup looks tantalisingly tomato flavoured, and I love tomatoes.

Of course, no heartburn on our virtual cruise, so I could have some.

MissAdventure Sat 30-Jul-22 21:16:39

Seeing that menu, I think I may need to rest after eating almost everything on it!
Followed by a chai latte, I think.
