About this journey

Staying in the old part of this 13th century walled medieval village presented many photo opportunities.  The garden wall behind St. Marien (top of page) with its gate leading to more discoveries is one example.  Sunrise, sunset, and dusk naturally offered varied views.  Wandering out into the German countryside each day was easy from a train station minutes from our hotel.

 Two weeks here was not enough.

Pictures on this page are based on not only the village of Gengenbach, but on the villages and locations we visited as we journeyed out each day to travel in and along the Black Forest. 

These Gengenbach and Baden-Württemberg  photos come from a a little over a month in Germany with 1/2 in Baden-Württemberg  for genealogy research and 1/2 in North Rhine-Westphalia living on a farm with a German family to help a member improve her English skills.  Time permitting, I will create a separate gallery for the North Rhine-Westphalia part of this trip.
