Start by walking down the river today, down to the place called Kupfereck, or Copper corner. No idea at all why the place should be named like that, after a metal.
There is surprise now that the way is so short. Perhaps all this is because the body has become fitter with all of this walking. Even though it is only seven miles a day, it must be training of some sort, and of some value. After crossing the main roads walk up the Keller straße, and take the footpath through the woods along the top of the valley. At the end, pass the old prison, and walk on to the keyboard for the oxen, or the oxen's piano. Gather a few damsons for the birds and climb the steep ridged path all the way up to the castle. Walking is a little more tiring today, but only because a mile has been walked already today.
The fruit is getting riper all the time, and the Nandu birds are delighted with the sweet treat. They hear the tread on the stones, look up and come running.
There are spectators today who laugh when the birds jump for their treat.
