Today was my office’s annual Wandertag.
Wandertag, which would translate loosely as “Hiking Day” is a great German tradition, and this year we wandered off to Naumburg (Saale) to explore its famous cathedral, tour the city, and eat lunch as a group.

Fortunately today was the first nice day of the week—earlier days had been cursed with cloudy and miserable weather—so our tour was fantastic. A couple photos are below, and there’s more for the dedicated: Check out my Flickr set, Naumburg (Saale) Wandertag.
