Time travel in Kaltenberg

Last weekend I was at Kaltenberger Ritterturnier, the World’s largest Medieval Tournament. It takes place every summer on three weekends in July and is only half an hour's drive from my home. 

Sure enough, I went in historic garment and with my instruments to sing some songs of olden times. The gugel, tunic and trousers are all homemade by myself, my handicraft work of this spring.  The shoes are bought, but a real winner. :)

My friend Markus invited me to Kaltenberg this year. He has a booth in the castle courtyard selling wind instruments.

And I also met one of my favourite medieval bands, Triskilian.

Note: I'll be in Kaltenberg again on the coming up weekend. Friday 27 July 2012 will be the  Gauklernacht (Entertainer's Night) which is a must-see.
