Typical older small-town train station. As also typical for these, no longer in use, and like most of them empty and devoid of any use today. A few hundred similar stations have been rented out successfully, either as residential buildings or housing restaurants or similar.

Standard 80s sidewalk in Germany, paved with Knochensteinen ("bone stones", due to their shape). Hand-laid, of course ^^;

The red-coloured ones to the right mark a bike lane.

This time in Buchen in the Odenwald mountain range. The bottom stone part is actually the old city wall, with a real moat in front.

Small access into the old town of Buchen between two houses built right against the old city wall.
