THINGS TO DO IN MY TOWN FOR (ALMOST) FREE MEME

THINGS TO DO IN MY TOWN FOR (ALMOST) FREE MEME (from Ariane)

Here are the rules (because it wouldn't be a meme without rules):
1. List (at least) five things to do for free in your city or town, not just well publicised touristy things, but things YOU might do too!
2. Write it with a visitor in mind.
3. Tag three people* - extra fun if they live somewhere you'd like to know better or you're going to sometime soon.
4. If you're anonymous/coy about where you live, choose another town or city that you know.

I think it is a bit enthusiastic to call my village a town. And everything is for free as there are no attractions to pay for.

1. Go for a bike ride. Through the forest. You may see deer, pheasants, hares while hearing cuckoos, woodpeckers, wild pigs, hunters shooting their guns. When you come out one side you head up to the dam along the Danube where you can watch the ships gliding by. Down the hill and past the disappearing village. This village is in a flood zone and was brought up by the Government. Each time you ride by another house goes. And the grass grows so quickly that it is soon difficult to see where the houses were. Below the whispering trees which reach down to tickle you. Alone the road and back home again.

2. You can visit the church which is always open during the day. An old woman will shuffle over each night to lock it. There is Roman font there which dates back to 1200AD which is where all children are christened.

3. If you take a metal dectector you can seach the fields for old Roman coins. This was the area that the Romans first settled in when they came to Austria before they realised that it was a flood zone and a bit useless.

4. Pick wildflowers or look for mushrooms or wild berries in the forest.

5. Sit in my backyard under the apple trees and watch the children play.

I will send this meme to Linsey Woolsey, Dreaming of Daisies and biglittlesister.
