In the corridor next to my room stands a hand loom that is about 100 years old. It is the source for the tapestry.
Many larger houses have a central fireplace that is tied in to the gas central heating system (here in the inn it is hot water, i am pretty sure). They seem to believe firmly in stocking up on firewood.
Historical preservation. These gates are traditional, some over 150 years old. This is an outdoor museum about 4 miles north of town. Last Satuday Dönci (13 yr old son of owner) and I biked there, about 300 ft. rise in elevation. Just to the north is a natural spring that has been diverted into a column with water spigots. In the course of about 10 minutes ten or so people showed up, some on bicycle, to fill up plastic bottles and take the water home
Detail from one of the gates. This is the panel over the people gate, the big wide opening is for wagons and cattle.
Showing date finished. March (may?) 9, 1869.
