Bad Wimpfen is one of the most stunning towns of the Neckar Valley. It is located at the confluence of the Neckar and Jagst rivers in southern Germany. It has a rich historic past: the Romans built a fortress and a bridge here, on the riverbank site of an ancient Celtic settlement, in the 1st century AD. It became famous as a spa town when the first therapeutic hotel opened in 1835. Today it is well-known not only for its spa institutions but also for its numerous fine historic buildings.

Rona, I think a jigsaw puzzle company ought to see this and buy the rights for a puzzle from you. It would make a great one (and one that would tax a veteran puzzle solver too). And, of course, congratulations on the finalist. #9324147Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
