Rest day Stade. Saturday 2 Aug.

We planned for a rest day in Stade as it was a long walk yesterday. Stade is a very old town and well worth a visit. There are plenty of restaurants for your midday or evening meal. Unfortunately there is quite a bit of construction work going on in the centre at the moment. 

There are many fine old buildings in the town.

 
The garden on the left, is a wild flower garden and is shown in more detail, for Martin, below.


There is a band of water, like a moat, around the whole of the town with a walking/cycling path accompanying it for most of the way.
.In many of the gardens along the way you will find many interesting sculptures.

There are two very nice churches in the town but I forgot my camera on our first trip in so no good photos I'm afraid. They both have fine Baroque organs. The photograph below, taken on our circular tour is the only one I can find of one of the churches.
