pleasant

 Leave the building that is home

go through Saint Martins graveyard, 

Walk along Altstadt Street, that unfriendly woman in front of Torreta's pizza place is as unfriendly as ever. Never need to go in there again. 

Cross the Dreifaltigkeitsplatz, avoiding the building site and minding that the umbrella does not get caught up in the scaffoldint

Walk up the Alte Bergstraße to the start of the Ochsentreppe to the castle. Pick some damsons for the birds, the big Nandus. Then climb the Ochsentreppe, it is no problem any more.

At the top, touch the wall of the castle, there at the moat. Then walk around the walls to the castle park, and walk on to the viewpoint over the town. The town is still there, even though it is raining today. 

Walk along the gravel paths, and climb the short steep path up to the car park. Cross the car park and use the public lavatory there. Then go on through the playground, and walk around the animal's enclosure. The Nandu's are there, waiting. Give each one a few of the plums, they like them even though they just swallow them whole. And then onward, to the old mulberry garden, where they used to keep the silkworms. Leave this, and go on down the Landshuter Höhenwanderweg, passing the children's clinic on the way.

At the bottom of that hill, wait at the traffic light junction to cross the main road. Then walk up the steep Pulverturm Strasse, taking a left to go to the second viewing platform. It is as high as the last one, the climb is really steep. But get there, and look out over Landshut again, again the two churches, now a little bit more distant.

Instead of going down into the valley, like the last time, take the higher path through the woods. After a long walk along the bluffs on a muddy path, and a stairway down the side of the hill, arrive at Rakoski's fountain. There is a sign on it that the water is not drinkable.

Walk down the main road and cross the river on the bridge there. Then follow the river using the gravel path all the way to the centre of Landshut, stopping at the Italian café for a cup of decent coffee. Watch the people on their bicycles again, and enjoy the coffee.

Today's morning walk totalled thirteen kilometres, and it was really pleasant.
