Look what we found while wandering around looking for our hotel.
You are now entering the Aldstadt of Goslar...
Street after street of cobblestones and fairy-tale buildings.
Goslar and the Western Harz Mountains prospered from mining silver, which is reflected in many of the buildings.
The Marktkirche, in the heart of the Aldstadt.
The Gose River, leading to the water wheel.
Just another pretty building...
The Kaiserpfalz, the seat of the Saxon kings from 1005 to 1219.
The Kaiserpfalz is listed as one of UNESCO's World Heritage sites.
Looking back towards town
The heart of Heinrich III is still kept in the chapel at the Kaiserpfaltz.
The glockenspiel. There are four different scenes, each depicting a different aspect of mining.
The 11th century Jakobikirche.
Just another day in Goslar...
The next morning we wandered a bit through the other side of town....
I believe this was a bakery...
