Freienfels Medieval Fair

On Saturday, we headed about an hour outside of town to Freienfels for a Medieval Fair with jousting and performances. it was the warmest day of the year, and we drove past the most beautiful fields of purple flowers and vast swaths of yellow Rapeseed (used for Canola oil). The countryside is magnificent in the springtime. 

Hundreds of vendors sold their wares, and families and friends set up their tents, all in medieval style and in costume. We enjoyed the knights jousting in their chain mail and colors,  the battles, and the magic of the music. Several thousand people attended.
