The first week of the autumn holidays in Oberwesel was one to remember! Starting off with a walk through the old town of Oberwesel we heard about the history of the town, saw the church of St. Mary and got to walk on the old town wall next to the Rhine River.
One highlight of the week was on Wednesday with the trip to castle Rheinfels near the city St. Goar. The castle was enormous and our guide was very funny and entertaining. Learning about the castle, its history and parts we were guided through the big area and got to walk through the many underground tunnels of the centuries old castle. Being at some points only a little more than one meter high, the tunnels were exciting and scary at the same time and were the highlight of the tour of the castle.
On Thursday afternoon we had the knight games where we learned how to shoot with a bow and an arrow or could fight man versus man with foam tubes. In the evening our host Günter took us on a tour of one of the towers of castle Schönburg. He took us up an old watchtower while telling us the story of the long dead Elizabeth. Günter’s talent in story-telling and the scary atmosphere within the tower made even the oldest of the group shudder.
Last but certainly not least the IP Open Stage Party on Friday night was a lot of fun. The kids impressed each other with unique magic tricks, a wrestling show and much more. In the end almost everyone performed something on stage with the occasional help of some of the teamers.
The Goodbye on Saturday was very sad and some of the kids didn’t want to go home.
We hope all of them enjoyed their week in Oberwesel and five of them even stayed for the second week.
