After a short journey we arrived in Gengenbach which is a small town and a popular tourist destination on the western edge of the Black Forest.
After parking the car we walked into the Altsadt which was gaily decorated with bunting and flags for the festival. In the main square Gengenbach has a traditional town hall which is claimed to be the World’s biggest advent calendar because the twenty-four windows of the eighteenth century town hall represent the twenty-four windows of the calendar. It reminded me rather of a massive gingerbread cake!
