Gengenbach ~ A delightful town

This morning we set off from Baden Baden to drive the senic route to Gengenbach. We travelled through some beautiful Black Forest Countryside, set of by the bright sunshine and crystal clear blue sky.

Last night I gave the windscreen on Ed a wash to clear off all the bug splatter and I`m so glad we had a clear un-interupted view of the scenery.

We are parked tonight on the town Stellplatz called Womo Park next to the Kinzig River (GPS 48.40224 8.00754)

We had a walk in the warm sunshine into town this afternoon along the river and across the footbridge. It is everything you would imagine of a Black Forest town.

Quaint timbered buildings, a tower and gates at each end of the high street and busy shops. Today was particularly busy as they were holding a market in the square so we had a brouse and Sue bought a new sun hat from one of the shops.

Louis was struggling a bit in the heat but took delight in having a lie down in a small stream that ran along a rill in the cobbles.

Later it was back to Ed for tea, salmon fillet on the barbeque, the barbeque is proving extremely useful at the moment.

Not much else to report, the fridge is playing up a bit and won`t light on gas, so I`ve identified a shop not to far away where I hope to get a part to fix it myself, if it`s in stock. It works ok on 240 volt and 12 volt but it is a bit of a problem not working on gas if it`s going to be hot.

Having said that, the forecast is for cooler weather for the next few days with some rain and I understand the UK heatwave is coming to an end also.

That shop will be the first stop in the morning before heading to our next destination……. yet to be decided.....

PS, note the little church on the hill in the first photo, nothing comes easily to believers, or so I`m sure worshipers were told ! that`s quite a climb up to there !

Before you ask, no we didn`t visit the church, it was far to hot.
