Excursion to Favorite Schloss

Friday, August 2, 1878: Sam and Joe took a short excursion (6 miles) to the popular Altes Schloss (Favorita Schloss), a conspicuous ruin on the summit of a hill outside town. Sam’s notebook holds an entry paraphrasing a guide book, that:
“...no tourist should fail to climb the mountain & enjoy the view. Hired boy to climb the Mt & examine (or enjoy?) the view. He felt well repaid for all his trouble.”
Later in the day they walked back through the woods to Baden Baden.

To the Alte Schloss (3/4 hr.): a carriage-road leads past the Neue Schloss, and ascends to the N., passing a Column (10 min.) with an inscription under an oak.
