Photographer’s Note

After Clevaux we went to Esch upon Sure (Esch sur Sure), the weather was getting greyish each minute so we climbed up the hill to see the view over the village.
We walked down the staircase and came across some kind of "waiters' competition", admiring men trying not to lose glasses of water out of their trays:) Great contest, especially that some of the drinks cost 4 euros:)
The villige is inhabited by 314 people according to Wikipedia, it's divided by the two mountains, so to get to the other part of the ruins you have to walk down and then again up - great exercise especially after a few T..... sunrises:)
Esch is also a place where you can admire the meander of the river Sure which is the affluent of the Moselle. (it's behind the ruins in my pic)
And the most important place is the castle or better to say - RUINS - the castle was built in about 10th century, it was ruined in 17th century and at present there are only two towers left and the surroundings.

I highly recommend this village, it's peaceful and quiet, especially that the whole traffic was lead through the tunnel.
