Hirsau

Most of the information on Hirsau Monastery is in German. So I reverted to my 4-year-old method of understanding written things and looked at the pictures. The pictures were enough to convince me that I wanted to visit the Hirsau Monastery. On Friday, Shar and I took a half-hour train ride into the Black Forest town of Hirsau and explored the Monastery ruins. It was free, and I didn’t know what I was looking at mostly, but exploring ruins covered in fallen leaves made for one of the most enjoyable days I have had since arriving…which is really saying a lot.
