Idar Oberstein - 20.2.2009

I spent some time visiting a good friend of mine in the middle of Germany, the area is called Pfalz. While I waited for my friend to pick me up I used the time to explore Idar-Oberstein, a few years back it has been a important place for the mineral industry.

the old town is still pretty, nestled between some hills

another "attraction" of this town is the church that is built into the rock.
unfortunately I didn´t take any pics during the time with my friend Esther...maybe next time!
