Daytrip: Bildstock

by Urzu

Ok, so not the most typical place I would recommend, as it's quite little and not as much to see as in other places. But in any case Bildstock is a cute little town with a quite impressive church, and great parks and places to wander about if you want to spend some quiet time around nature! Bildstock is right next to Friedrichsthal (they have the same cityhall), and it's about 20 minutes away from Saarbrücken. The town got it's name becasue supposedly many years ago a drawing of the virgin was found on a wood stick.

Ludwigskirche

by Urzu

The Ludwigs church is often considered as the masterpiece of architect Stengel, as well as one of the most aesthetically perfect baroque Protestant churches in Germany. It was finished in the late 18th century, but was completely destroyed during WWII. However the church was totally restored to its former glory. The area of the Ludwigskirche (behind the church) is also a very nice place to have a nice and quiet walk, and especially to admire all the arquitecture that surrounds it!

Visit to family...

by lil_traveller

This is my mom's cousin, so I guess she would be my 2nd cousin right? Ne ways, she's one of my favorite relatives from Germany and I wish that her and her son would come to visit me in Canada...maybe one day.

I went to visit her and her family since I hadn't seen her, her brother, and mom for 13 years! We spent a couple days in Saarbruecken and it was SO hot, but it was nice to visit.
