This lovely little town, with even more stunning scenery!

❤️Gengenbach in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is always referred to as the "Pearl of the Black Forest Town". What exactly gives it such a unique charm? Driving into the center of Gengenbach, I was surrounded by medieval-style buildings, half-timbered houses are the landmark buildings of southern Germany, every household has geraniums and morning glory planted on the windows, indeed beautiful like a fairy tale, the previous doubts naturally solved. 😇In the 1990s, the old town of Gengenbach was protected by the Historic Preservation Act. Walking on the cobblestone road, it seems that the vicissitudes of life have not happened, and time is indeed sealed here. In the old town, the most popular among tourists is Engelgasse (Angel Alley), which is a small street named by Lonely Planet, with well-preserved medieval buildings on both sides, and some places have even framed the original old city wall with glass. The old resident of Angel Alley, Grandma Krista, said that the old houses here never use curtains. The clever architects thought of a way to use the building angle to avoid the neighbor's windows a few centuries ago. 🦋Haus Löwenberg Museum, this can be your first stop when visiting Gengenbach. This was once a merchant's house in the town center, which is a Renaissance-style house. Here, you can see all kinds of puppets, mirror halls, character organs, clever mechanisms on the roof, and the only two automatic puppet boxes in the world, the only one in Germany. In addition, they hold different exhibitions throughout the year, this place is simply a paradise for children and a Peter Pan universe for adults. 🎄The Advent calendar countdown in Gengenbach is the largest in the world, displayed on the 24 windows of the town hall facade. For about the past 20 years, every December, when night falls, in front of the pink facade of this Baroque-style building that is more than 200 years old, at 6 o'clock in the evening, a window is opened every day, and pictures of world-famous artists such as Andy Warhol are revealed. It is said that every year, about 100,000 tourists come specifically for the countdown calendar, knowing that the entire Gengenbach only has a permanent population of 10,000.
