Duitsland
8 September 2019, our last multi-week trip. Ready for a separate route: the "Upper Swabian Baroque Road". This in the south of Germany.
There are four signposted routes. We will mainly follow the main route. A route of about 278 km. Admire the splendour of the Baroque and enjoy the landscape at the same time. In 1966 this route was created as one of the first tourist routes in Germany. Here you can go on a quest. The yellow putto (angel figure) on a blue-green background, the hallmark of the route depicted on signposts, also takes the visitor to lesser-known sights. The motto of the route is: “It doesn't matter where you want to start - the yellow angel will show you the way”. Practice taught us something different, of course. The yellow angel, which is depicted on the road signs next to the place names, was often difficult to see or even completely disappeared. However, I had put the route in the GPS day by day.
Our first stop is an intermediate stop as usual. Since this is in Germany, we stop again at the Moselle, namely in Bernkastel Kues, one of the most popular places, surrounded by numerous vineyards. Many tourists were present.
The town itself consists of two parts. Kues is located on the left bank. We visited the historic Bernkastel on the right bank. The old centre still has many old half-timbered houses and is perhaps the oldest medieval half-timbered collection in the Moselle region. It was pleasant to stroll in the narrow alleys, past the "salon" of the city, the market square, the stately Renaissance council house, the "Spitzhäuschen" at the Michaels fountain. When you walk around Bernkastel you imagine yourself in the Middle Ages.
To finish, we drank a local Bernkastel white wine. As expected, very tasty!
Day2
We normally started the route in Ulm. But it was a day of more than 300 km full of delays, traffic jams and diversions. We decided to drive past Ulm and drive straight to a motorhome site in Ehingen to spend the night.

The following days the route takes us further via Obermarchtal, Mochental, Riedlingen, Bad Buchau, Steinhausen, Bad Schussenried, Aulendorf, Bad Waldsee, Weingarten, Ravensburg, Wangen im Allgäu, Wolfegg, Rot an der Rot, Memmingen, Laupheim, to finish in the monastery of Wiblingen.

We spent the night at a different camper place every day. With the exception of Bad Buchau and Wolfegg, we stayed there for two nights. The advantage was that all camper pitches were within walking distance of the town or monument to be visited. We have not stayed at campsites.

06.08.2018 - Hochschwarzwald
05/08/2018: alles ingeladen, de watertank voor een derde gevuld… Op naar het Zwarte Woud. Meer specifiek het zuiden en dit tot in Waldshut aan de grens met Zwitserland, het “Hochschwarzwald”.  20 jaar geleden waren we er al en een tweede bezoek is het zeker waard.  De startafstand (625 km) die we normaal in één dag doen, doen we nu rustiger aan. De eerste middag brengen we door in Mehring, een mooi dorp aan de Moezel.  De camperplaats (met zijn restaurant) ligt pal aan het water.  Gelukkig, ondanks of dank zij de hitte zijn er geen muggen.
Meer moest dat niet zijn. Luieren in een stoel aan het water, even wandelen en dan rustig een glaasje drinken op het terras van het plaatselijke restaurant.

Dag 2
We rijden richting Titisee. We hadden gereserveerd op camping Bühlhof. De bedoeling was om er een aantal dagen ter plaatse te overnachten. De camping is boven een berg gelegen en de weg er naartoe is zeer steil. Een ideale omgeving voor … berggeiten. De 170 pk van de mobilhome was meer dan welkom. De camping is oud maar zeer net, de plaatsen best ruim doch zeker niet vlak. Na de installatie verkennen we de camping en genieten nog na van een mooie avond.
Dag 3
Vandaag wandelen we naar het stadje Titisee aan het gelijknamige meer. Erheen wandelen is, ondanks de hitte, geen probleem. Terugkeren was een ander paar mouwen. Het gedeelte van de grote baan naar de camping was zoals eerder gezegd, een echte kuitenbijter en niet een baantje om meerdere keren per dag te voet af te leggen.
De Titisee is het meest toeristische meer van het Zwarte Woud. Een prachtig natuurlijk meer op een hoogte van zowat 840 meter. In het plaatsje zelf vind je talrijke winkels, restaurants. Het is er heerlijk vertoeven. In de hoofdstraat zijn veel souvenir winkels gelegen, waar je veel producten uit het zwarte woud zoals hammen en kersenmarmelade vindt, en heel veel koekoeksklokken. We konen niet weerstaan aan de streekproducten en kochten zwarte woudham en ‘wald’honing! Geoefende wandelaars kunnen rond het meer wandelen. Het pas is ongeveer 7 km lang. Op het meer kan je leuke boottochten maken. Met een excursieboot, roeibootje, pedalo, of een electrisch bootje. Het is ook een luchtkuuroord. Het is niet het grootste meer, dat is de Schluchsee.

Dag 4
Het is een weertje om luilekker te genieten op de camping. Ondanks de hoge temperaturen besluit ik, Dirk, om in de namiddag een wandeling te maken. Eén die start op de camping. Het pad naar de rand van het bos was al zeer steil. Toen ik boven aan de rand van het bos kwam, was ik blij dat ik even kon verpozen op een bankje. Een prachtig panoramisch zicht en wandelen tussen de koeien. Dat is het zwarte woud ten top.  ’s Nachts zorgt een stevig onweer ervoor dat alles opgefrist wordt.
Dag 5
Freiburg de belangrijkste stad van het Zwarte Woud. Het is nog steeds zeer warm.  Net aan de rand van de stad parkeren we op een grote camperplaats. Na een stevige wandeling (terugkeren doen we wijselijk met de tram) nemen we een kijkje in de talrijke historische straten en wandelen langs stadspoorten, de vele stadhuizen, marktpleinen, door winkelstraten en ... langs de beken! Ja, wel opletten als je in de straten van het centrum kuiert. In vele straten liggen nog kleine open beken (Bächle).
De Münsterkerk neemt prominent haar plaats in. In de Kaiser Joseph Strasse zijn vele grote warenhuizen gelegen.

Terwijl we op een terras genoten van een lekkere maaltijd werden we verrast door zowaar een windhoos. Deze trok over gans Freiburg. De zware parasols waaiden allen om, kleinere kozen het luchtruim. Servieten, tafellakens, stoelkussens, en zelfs stoelen gingen vliegen. We moesten in allerijl onze borden nemen en in het restaurant vluchten. Na twee minuten was alles voorbij en scheen de zon weer. Nu nog wat winkelen (eindelijk) en dan de tram op. Dit gratis! Dankzij onze KONUS gastenkaart.
SONY DSC
Wanneer op je vakantie bent in het Zwarte Woud krijg je op campings of in je hotel of gastenverblijf een Konus gastenkaart.

De uitdrukking “KONUS” komt van de vroegere universele sleutel die trein conducteurs ooit gebruikten om bussen en treinstellen te openen. Deze uitdrukking staat voor gratis gebruik van openbaar vervoer voor bezoekers aan het gehele Zware Woud. Er zijn enige uitzonderingen.
Na aankomst op je vakantiebestemming kun je je voertuig laten staan en brengt het openbaar vervoer (bus, tram, trein, om het even) je naar elke plaats die je wenst, zonder je zorgen te hoeven maken over een parkeerplaats.

Meer info over deze kaart vind je op: zwartewoud.info

Overnachten doen we voor de laatste maal op camping Bühlhof in Titisee.

Dag 6
Triberg bezoeken bleek niet mogelijk door een totaal gebrek aan parkeerplaatsen, de massa toeristen en overal achtergelaten fietsen.  De bedoeling was om er een bezoek te brengen, niet alleen aan het “Schwarzwaldmuseum” maar ook aan de grootste winkel met koekoeksklokken. We rijden dan maar door naar Schonach voor een bezoekje aan de tot voor kort, grootste koekoeksklok ter wereld en vervolgens verder naar de Schluchsee.  In Schluchsee vinden we nog net een plaats op de camperplaats. Deze is net aan het gelijknamige stuwmeer gelegen. Het meer is drie maal groter dan de Titisee maar niet zo toeristisch uitgebaa(ui)t. Dit is onze overnachtingsplaats voor de komende 2 nachten.
Dag 7
Na een bezoek aan en een wandeling rond het leuke stadje gaan we ’s middags varen op het meer met de rondvaartboot. Een boot die drie haltes rond het meer aandoet. Vanaf die haltes kan je mooie wandelingen aan en rond het meer maken. Zoals gewoonlijk is er geen Nederlandstalige info (wel Chinees) aan boord, maar als je goed luistert kan je wel iets meepikken van de Duitstalige rondleiding.  Tenzij je natuurlijk geniet van een stuk taart, een ijsje of iets vloeibaars op de boot…

Dag 8
Onze reis gaat verder naar Waldshut, een klein oud stadje aan de Rijn en tegen de grens met Zwitserland. De mooie (luxe) camperplaats ligt naast de camping (waarvan de douches en toiletten ook voor de campers zijn) en heeft alle faciliteiten.  Via een korte wandeling langs de Rijn kom je in het stadje vol fraaie oude vakwerkhuizen, mooie winkels en terrasjes in de verkeersvrije Kaiserstrasse, die aan beide zijden omsloten wordt door een markante stadspoorttoren. In het midden van de straat stroomt door een stenen goot water. Ook zijn er drie moderne fonteinen.
Op het terras van een patisserie genoten we van dé taart van de streek: zwarte woudtaart; heerlijk!

Dag 9
We wippen even de Zwitserse grens over en bezoeken de Rijnwatervallen in Schaffhausen.  Er is een parking (P4) voorzien voor campers maar zoals gewoonlijk staan er ook vele personenauto’s tussen. Vroeg toekomen is de boodschap!  Je mag overnachten op de parking, maar het is er zeer duur. Waarschijnlijk komt dit door de dure Zwitserse frank!

De “Rheinfall” zijn de grootste watervallen van Europa. Je voelt het gebulder van het water door je hele lichaam. Je kan er met een boot naar de kastelen, in het bekken van de Rijnwaterval en zelfs naar het terras op de rots in het midden.
Je wordt er getrakteerd op een gratis, ijskoude douche door het opspattende water.  Het is een indrukwekkend schouwspel.

’s Namiddags keren we terug naar Waldshut en de camperplaats voor de nacht.  In het stadje krijgen we een stevige regenbui. Lang leve de ijssalons als schuilplaats. Ook de porties ijs zijn van Duits formaat, gewoon reusachtig.
SONY DSC
Dag 10
Een panoramaroute liep langs de schilderachtige valleien en heuvels van het Zwarte Woud. Langs plaatsjes zoals Hochenschwand, Todnau, Bernau, Feldberg,  en via Titisee (waar we toch maar een koekoeksklok kopen) rijden we verder naar Altglashütten.  De camperplaats ligt net buiten het dorp naast de spoorweg (gelukkig net buiten gebruik wegens herstellingswerken – normaal twee treinen per dag).  Het dorp is de dag van vandaag bekend als skioord, doch heeft zijn ontstaan te danken aan de bouw van een glasfabriek in 1609. Vele glasblazers vestigden zich er. Het heeft een mooie kerk en één van de weinige resterende glasblazerijen. De man zit gewoon in zijn winkel te werken.  Er zijn prachtige dingen te koop van kleine juweeltjes (ringen, oorbellen, diertjes) tot glazen, vazen enz.  En de prijzen zijn zeer schappelijk. De omgeving nodigt uit tot het maken van lange wandelingen.
Dag 11
De laatste dag van ons bezoek aan het Zwarte Woud  rijden we terug huiswaarts. Niet rechtstreeks. Opnieuw nemen we een tussenstop aan de Moezel. Dit keer trekken we naar Minheim (het zonne-eiland), een klein maar romantische wijndorpje verscholen aan een bocht in het schitterende Moezel landschap. Het dorp telt 452 inwoners en maar liefst 13 wijnhuizen.
De camperplaats (90 plaatsen), ligt vlak aan de rivier. Mooi, rustig, ruime plaatsen met alle voorzieningen (water, elektriciteit en loospunt). ’s Morgens brengt de bakker het daags voordien bestelde brood en koeken.  Tussen de wijngaarden en wijnhuizen tref je er enkele restaurants en één winkel (van diezelfde bakker, tevens een minisupermarkt met een relatief ruim assortiment aan taart, charcuterie, groenten, fruit, kranten, boekjes en zelfs postzegels!). Tijdens ons bezoek heerste er een gezellige sfeer en drukte. Het was feest in het dorp met orkestjes die speelden op de pleinen, en drank- en wijnstandjes alom.
Dag 12
Na het optrekken van de ochtendmist die in slierten over het water hing, scheen het zonnetje opnieuw heerlijk. We besloten om toch terug naar huis te rijden.

We waren blij dat we deze streek na al de jaren, toch nog eens bezocht hebben. Terugkeren naar het Zwarte Woud is altijd leuk en aangenaam om te verblijven.

Our first stop is an intermediate stop as usual. Since this is in Germany, we stop again at the Moselle, namely in Bernkastel Kues, one of the most popular places, surrounded by numerous vineyards. Many tourists were present.
The town itself consists of two parts. Kues is located on the left bank. We visited the historic Bernkastel on the right bank. The old centre still has many old half-timbered houses and is perhaps the oldest medieval half-timbered collection in the Moselle region. It was pleasant to stroll in the narrow alleys, past the "salon" of the city, the market square, the stately Renaissance council house, the "Spitzhäuschen" at the Michaels fountain. When you walk around Bernkastel you imagine yourself in the Middle Ages.
To finish, we drank a local Bernkastel white wine. As expected, very tasty!
Day2
We normally started the route in Ulm. But it was a day of more than 300 km full of delays, traffic jams and diversions. We decided to drive past Ulm and drive straight to a motorhome site in Ehingen to spend the night.

The following days the route takes us further via Obermarchtal, Mochental, Riedlingen, Bad Buchau, Steinhausen, Bad Schussenried, Aulendorf, Bad Waldsee, Weingarten, Ravensburg, Wangen im Allgäu, Wolfegg, Rot an der Rot, Memmingen, Laupheim, to finish in the monastery of Wiblingen.

We spent the night at a different camper place every day. With the exception of Bad Buchau and Wolfegg, we stayed there for two nights. The advantage was that all camper pitches were within walking distance of the town or monument to be visited. We have not stayed at campsites.
Day 3
It is now 10am. We park immediately at the monastery of Obermarchtal. In the monastery, only the majestic church is open to the public. Immediately the splendour of the Baroque is striking. The first introduction to this style on our trip. Keep your eyes peeled. It takes a while before you can grasp everything. A richly decorated pulpit. A beautiful organ. Unlike other baroque churches, you don't see ceiling paintings here. But the ceiling is provided with beautiful white plaster with all kinds of motifs.

The Baroque is a European style period that developed in Italy at the beginning of the 17th century and lasted until the first half of the 18th century, and which is characterized by an abundance of form and vehemence of emotional expression. A style that nevertheless arouses mixed feelings. One person thinks it is wonderful, breath-taking. The other thinks it is kitschy, bombastic.
Despite it being forbidden to the public, we were allowed to enter the beautiful hall of mirrors of the monastery. The first wow moment of the trip! It is difficult to give a description. Therefore, a picture is worth a thousand words.

We then continue and the next stop is Mochental Castle. It currently houses a gallery. It is also still a working farm.
In the afternoon we spent time in Riedlingen, a very beautiful old town on the Danube. It is pleasant to walk around. Its beautiful squares with the many well-maintained half-timbered houses. The winding streets with nice terraces. Very inviting and ideal in this beautiful weather. The route then takes us to Bad Buchau, where we settle down for the night. We soon get the company of a couple of ducks. They stay around our motorhome during our entire stay.
Day 4
The sun breaks through early. When the door is opened, we are welcomed by the ducks, quacking happily. Of course they want to eat. Fortunately we still have old bread, which they greedily gobble up. This morning we deviate from the purpose of the trip and for a change take a walk on a 1.4 km long pier: the "Feederseesteg"; it ran through the swampy area of ​​huht nature reserve of Bad Buchau. This at the Feedersee. We cannot spot many birds. In the beginning a few deer hop across the fields. Once in the reed, the birds are difficult to spot. We see a few hidden tits, swans on the lake and herons along the banks of the swampy area. A praying falcon hangs above our heads, watching for every movement in the reeds.
In the afternoon we walk through the nice city centre of the holiday town. The town is also a renowned spa. The many thermal baths and parks are tailored to the many patients who stay in the middle of a beautiful park in the very modern spa centre. The old centre is not big. A few streets that adjoin a central square. There are only a few restaurants. Yet we have eaten very well in one of those few.
Beyond the romantic town hall, we visit the special baroque church. Not bombastic but very dosed in its splendour. Especially because of the galleries with floors in the side aisles of the church.
Day 5
The next highlight we visit on the route is: the "most beautiful village church in the world" in Steinhausen. This in a village with barely 2000 inhabitants.
A truly beautiful church. The baroque in all its glory. Incredible ceiling paintings, the statues, the pulpit, the frescoes on the columns, the confessionals, the decorations, all in beautiful condition. From the central aisle you have an incredible view of the priest's choir. The modest main altar stands out among the marble columns and golden stands. Everything is really wonderful. A must to visit if you are in the area.
The angels then take us to Bad Schussenried. Life is determined by the local beer brewery, which is located in the middle of the city. Originally started in the monastery that was inhabited for centuries by canons and who gave the town its beer culture. We install ourselves on the camper place behind the brewery. During the annual beer festivals in October, there is no space left for days. Reservations may be possible in advance through the brewery. In the courtyard of the brewery there is a very pleasant terrace, the local "beer garden". The meeting place for the locals. Despite the early hour, the half litres are already served very quickly. I drank the Schussenrieder Original No1, a very tasty unfiltered lager!
The beer mug museum is also located in the courtyard. We admire the more than 1200 mugs from bygone times to the present. I must say that the beer tastes better when you drink it from such a stone pitcher.
Back into the baroque, we visit the monastery with its very beautiful rococo library room. You are short of eyes to admire everything. The marble columns, the phenomenal painting, the gallery. The large ceiling fresco depicts the history of the church through the centuries. A panorama from the Old Testament and the ancient world to the 18th century. It is a pity that there are no more books in the cupboards. However, the setup with posters does show a general picture of what it looked like.
Day 6
Back on the road. We stop in Aulendorf where we briefly enter the, again very beautiful, baroque church of Sankt-Martin.

Twenty kilometres further we arrive in the spa town of Bad Waldsee, located between two lakes. We find a spacious place on the beautiful camper place just outside the city. The charming medieval town invites to a tour of the many Gothic and Baroque buildings. The Kornhaus and the historic Vötschenturm are some of them that we walk past. The baroque church is also worth a visit. More sober than others, but all objects, paintings and sculptures in perfect harmony. We end our walk along the shore of the lake. The coffee house on the water was a perfect stop for a rest.
Day 7
We already saw the “most beautiful” church. Today the “largest” church is on the program, the Basilica of Weingarten. Immediately upon entering you are overwhelmed by its grandeur. Quite austere for a baroque church. The white plaster accentuates the very beautiful ceiling paintings and beautiful frescoes in the niches. The pulpit is decorated with numerous angels. The priest's choir, equipped with beautifully carved wooden priest chairs. Organ pipes have also been incorporated in the headings. The breath-taking Gabler organ is surrounded by six large windows. Again, words fail. Just like in Bruges, they have a Holy Blood relic here. Exhibited in a room in the red marble main altar.
We continue the day in Ravensburg. A few minutes from Weingarten. It is the city of towers and gates. Just outside the city we park on the camper stopover. The pitches are quite narrow, but it is more than enough for one night.

Passing one of the gates we enter the old historic city centre. In total there are seventeen towers and gates to be found. There is a pleasant bustle. The market square is surrounded by beautifully painted half-timbered houses. On this market you will also find the town hall and the main tower, the Blazerstoren. It recalls the time when city guards called the time and warned in case of fire. In the narrow streets there are many cafes and boutiques and other attractions. The many cosy shops are ideal for the shoppers among you. During our presence, the street theatre festival was just underway. A nice change. Continuous performances of a clown with an elephant, a marionette theatre and colourful waders provided entertainment for the many visitors. We descended to the remains of the city fortifications dating back to the 13th-15th century. Large parts have been preserved. It is also along these walls that most of the towers can be found. When we got back to our motorhome, we heard music coming from a building at the end of the camper place. Turned out to be the clubhouse of the local carnival association. The chairman spontaneously invited us to join them in celebrating the baptism of the new members. There was also a guest association from Switzerland. It was a real German party, with music, singing, sausages and litres of beer. Together with the chairman, I sounded numerous times on the newcomers. They were literally immersed in a large trough, filled with water, beer, wine and anything liquid. At 7 pm the party ended and peace returned to the camper place. Fortunately I didn't have to walk far to reach our camper!
Day 8
It's a cold and misty morning. Although "Bodensee" is not far away, we decide not to visit it. Driving around the lake will be for another trip. When we reach our next destination: Wangen im Allgau, the sun is shining again. Fortunately we can get the last free space of the camper place. No churches or monasteries on the program today. Enjoying the historic town is the message. Today is Sunday and… shopping day in Wangen. It is pleasant to stroll through the busy streets with its many fountains. We pass towers, gates and colourful craft houses that are beautifully painted. There is children's entertainment and the shops give big discounts. The many nice squares are occupied by long tables and benches. There is music provided by orchestras and keyboard players. When you walk under a gate, you leave the old centre. The surrounding streets were all closed. There was a cycling race, what we call a criterion, in progress. Besides the local riders, there were two crowd pullers to spot. For the cycling enthusiasts: they were two German professional cyclists from the Bora stable, namely: Emanuel Buchmann (fourth in the Tour of France 2019) and Pascal Ackermann. And you guessed it well, the competition was won by Buchmann. Ackermann was third.

It is now 10am. We park immediately at the monastery of Obermarchtal. In the monastery, only the majestic church is open to the public. Immediately the splendour of the Baroque is striking.

This at the Feedersee. We cannot spot many birds. In the beginning a few deer hop across the fields. Once in the reed, the birds are difficult to spot. We see a few hidden tits, swans on the lake and herons along the banks of the swampy area. A praying falcon hangs above our heads, watching for every movement in the reeds.
In the afternoon we walk through the nice city centre of the holiday town. The town is also a renowned spa. The many thermal baths and parks are tailored to the many patients who stay in the middle of a beautiful park in the very modern spa centre. The old centre is not big. A few streets that adjoin a central square. There are only a few restaurants. Yet we have eaten very well in one of those few.
Beyond the romantic town hall, we visit the special baroque church. Not bombastic but very dosed in its splendour. Especially because of the galleries with floors in the side aisles of the church.
Day 5
The next highlight we visit on the route is: the "most beautiful village church in the world" in Steinhausen. This in a village with barely 2000 inhabitants.
A truly beautiful church. The baroque in all its glory. Incredible ceiling paintings, the statues, the pulpit, the frescoes on the columns, the confessionals, the decorations, all in beautiful condition. From the central aisle you have an incredible view of the priest's choir. The modest main altar stands out among the marble columns and golden stands. Everything is really wonderful. A must to visit if you are in the area.
The angels then take us to Bad Schussenried. Life is determined by the local beer brewery, which is located in the middle of the city. Originally started in the monastery that was inhabited for centuries by canons and who gave the town its beer culture. We install ourselves on the camper place behind the brewery. During the annual beer festivals in October, there is no space left for days. Reservations may be possible in advance through the brewery. In the courtyard of the brewery there is a very pleasant terrace, the local "beer garden". The meeting place for the locals. Despite the early hour, the half litres are already served very quickly. I drank the Schussenrieder Original No1, a very tasty unfiltered lager!
The beer mug museum is also located in the courtyard. We admire the more than 1200 mugs from bygone times to the present. I must say that the beer tastes better when you drink it from such a stone pitcher.
Back into the baroque, we visit the monastery with its very beautiful rococo library room. You are short of eyes to admire everything. The marble columns, the phenomenal painting, the gallery. The large ceiling fresco depicts the history of the church through the centuries. A panorama from the Old Testament and the ancient world to the 18th century. It is a pity that there are no more books in the cupboards. However, the setup with posters does show a general picture of what it looked like.
Day 6
Back on the road. We stop in Aulendorf where we briefly enter the, again very beautiful, baroque church of Sankt-Martin.

Twenty kilometres further we arrive in the spa town of Bad Waldsee, located between two lakes. We find a spacious place on the beautiful camper place just outside the city. The charming medieval town invites to a tour of the many Gothic and Baroque buildings. The Kornhaus and the historic Vötschenturm are some of them that we walk past. The baroque church is also worth a visit. More sober than others, but all objects, paintings and sculptures in perfect harmony. We end our walk along the shore of the lake. The coffee house on the water was a perfect stop for a rest.
Day 7
We already saw the “most beautiful” church. Today the “largest” church is on the program, the Basilica of Weingarten. Immediately upon entering you are overwhelmed by its grandeur. Quite austere for a baroque church. The white plaster accentuates the very beautiful ceiling paintings and beautiful frescoes in the niches. The pulpit is decorated with numerous angels. The priest's choir, equipped with beautifully carved wooden priest chairs. Organ pipes have also been incorporated in the headings. The breath-taking Gabler organ is surrounded by six large windows. Again, words fail. Just like in Bruges, they have a Holy Blood relic here. Exhibited in a room in the red marble main altar.
We continue the day in Ravensburg. A few minutes from Weingarten. It is the city of towers and gates. Just outside the city we park on the camper stopover. The pitches are quite narrow, but it is more than enough for one night.

Passing one of the gates we enter the old historic city centre. In total there are seventeen towers and gates to be found. There is a pleasant bustle. The market square is surrounded by beautifully painted half-timbered houses. On this market you will also find the town hall and the main tower, the Blazerstoren. It recalls the time when city guards called the time and warned in case of fire. In the narrow streets there are many cafes and boutiques and other attractions. The many cosy shops are ideal for the shoppers among you. During our presence, the street theatre festival was just underway. A nice change. Continuous performances of a clown with an elephant, a marionette theatre and colourful waders provided entertainment for the many visitors. We descended to the remains of the city fortifications dating back to the 13th-15th century. Large parts have been preserved. It is also along these walls that most of the towers can be found. When we got back to our motorhome, we heard music coming from a building at the end of the camper place. Turned out to be the clubhouse of the local carnival association. The chairman spontaneously invited us to join them in celebrating the baptism of the new members. There was also a guest association from Switzerland. It was a real German party, with music, singing, sausages and litres of beer. Together with the chairman, I sounded numerous times on the newcomers. They were literally immersed in a large trough, filled with water, beer, wine and anything liquid. At 7 pm the party ended and peace returned to the camper place. Fortunately I didn't have to walk far to reach our camper!
Day 8
It's a cold and misty morning. Although "Bodensee" is not far away, we decide not to visit it. Driving around the lake will be for another trip. When we reach our next destination: Wangen im Allgau, the sun is shining again. Fortunately we can get the last free space of the camper place. No churches or monasteries on the program today. Enjoying the historic town is the message. Today is Sunday and… shopping day in Wangen. It is pleasant to stroll through the busy streets with its many fountains. We pass towers, gates and colourful craft houses that are beautifully painted. There is children's entertainment and the shops give big discounts. The many nice squares are occupied by long tables and benches. There is music provided by orchestras and keyboard players. When you walk under a gate, you leave the old centre. The surrounding streets were all closed. There was a cycling race, what we call a criterion, in progress. Besides the local riders, there were two crowd pullers to spot. For the cycling enthusiasts: they were two German professional cyclists from the Bora stable, namely: Emanuel Buchmann (fourth in the Tour of France 2019) and Pascal Ackermann. And you guessed it well, the competition was won by Buchmann. Ackermann was third.
Day 9
The route takes us to Wolfegg. Our stop for two days. The camper place on the outskirts of the city is located between the fields and has very spacious pitches. On a hill just next to the camper place, the Loreto chapel overlooks the region. After a short climb we behold the statue of the black Virgin Mary.

A Loreto Chapel is a chapel built after the example of the Casa Santa (Holy House) in the Italian pilgrimage town of Loreto. According to the legend, the Virgin Mary would be born there.
The village square is dominated by two gigantic lime trees, planted in 1887. We walk past the retirement home, the castle and of course the very beautiful baroque church. Then we come across the car museum. Inside you immediately smell the oil from the lubricated engines. Nostalgia everywhere. Cars from the 50s, 60s and 70s. We felt young again! The museum is located in two buildings that are one street apart. With the entrance ticket we bought in the first building, we also had access to the other. Once there you expect someone to check your ticket. But no, no one was there. You could just walk in and out. There were no other visitors either. To round off the sunny afternoon we looked for a spot under the trees on the terrace of the only drinking place in the village. It was open from 3 to 6 pm.
Day 10
Something completely different on the program today: the Wolfegg farm and open-air museum (comparable to “Bokrijk” in Belgium). Partly due to the sunny weather, it is pleasant to walk around. Accompanied by the stray geese and among other farm animals, you visit one farm after another. Very spacious, some hundreds of years old, but all very well maintained and well documented. However, as in many locations on our route, only in the German language. Several farms tell the story of how they hid Jews during the Second World War. Others were the sleeping quarters of Nazi officers.
Day 11
A stopover in Rot an der Rot. Here we visit the baroque church of the former Premonstratensian monastery. The monks and the first provost came from the mother monastery of Prémontré in Northern France. The monastery is now a youth home. After a short walk in the nice village we drive on to Memmingen.
On the outskirts of the city between a few busy roads, we find a place on the camper place. This was soon full. There was not much space between the pitches. Nevertheless, a camper van manages to nestle in the middle of 2 places (where campers were of course). We soon reach the old town through the park. We passed under a gate of the city wall and it was like entering an earlier era. It is a city with a mix of medieval craft houses, large Gothic buildings. The town hall, built in Renaissance style, is proud of the market square. Upon entering, we immediately noticed something. Above the staircase is a beautiful stained glass window with a war scene from the First World War. In the tourism office we received a plan with a numbered city walk. It led us to several interesting corners of the city. Just do the effort. The surprise was at the end of the walk. A former church building. One side was a separate restaurant. The nave used as an exhibition space was truly phenomenal. A very high hall with an armpit. Equipped with gigantic red marble columns. The white ceiling decorated with frescoes and plasterwork of white and gold. Having to stare up all the time was certainly not good for the neck.
Despite it being forbidden to the public, we were allowed to enter the beautiful hall of mirrors of the monastery. The first wow moment of the trip! It is difficult to give a description. Therefore, a picture is worth a thousand words.

We then continue and the next stop is Mochental Castle. It currently houses a gallery. It is also still a working farm.
In the afternoon we spent time in Riedlingen, a very beautiful old town on the Danube. It is pleasant to walk around. Its beautiful squares with the many well-maintained half-timbered houses. The winding streets with nice terraces. Very inviting and ideal in this beautiful weather. The route then takes us to Bad Buchau, where we settle down for the night. We soon get the company of a couple of ducks. They stay around our motorhome during our entire stay.
Day 4
The sun breaks through early. When the door is opened, we are welcomed by the ducks, quacking happily. Of course they want to eat. Fortunately we still have old bread, which they greedily gobble up.

Day 12
The end of the route is gradually coming into view. Today we stop in Laupheim. We are alone on the camper place behind the church. This town is not included in the Baroque route, and is not really touristy. There are no places of interest outside the castle (whose rose garden is often used for wedding ceremonies), the Baroque church and the Jewish cemetery (only open by appointment). The intention is to take a break today. It was nice to relax on the castle terrace under the warm sun. By the way, we had very nice weather for fourteen days. A real Indian Summer, but with cold nights. Only damper on the joy were the church bells. They ring every 15 minutes and this 24h / 24h. Slightly less fun when you are just behind the tower.
Day 13
The last destination is the highlight of our journey ... The spectacular library room of the Wiblingen monastery. After the visit to the impressive basilica with all the baroque elements in full glory, we enter the monastery. We had to be quiet on the 1st floor. Oral exams were taking place on the floor used by the university. On to the 2nd floor. You walk through the austere corridor of the monastery and at the end of the corridor you see a richly decorated door. Immediately upon entering the hall, our mouths fell open. In the high season the hall is overrun by tourists. But ... we could, without the presence of any other visitor, fully enjoy the splendour. Not a single detail escaped our eyes. Words are not enough. The hall is richly decorated with plasterwork and paintings. The graceful statues seem to guard the tens of thousands of precious books and manuscripts. Impressive ceiling fresco, a gallery on the first floor that is equally richly decorated. The numerous columns appear to be of blue marble. However, they are painted. During that period a special painting technique was used to give stone columns the perfect appearance of marble. This technique is still used today. It was the perfect ending to a very successful trip.
Heading home we stop in Biberach at the camper place, owned by the local brewery (good beer by the way).

Day 14
Our stopover on the way back is in “Bingen am Rhein”. Rudesheim is located on the other side of the water. It is a beautiful camper place. We are lucky again. The last free space is ours. In the afternoon we enjoy the still warm September sun.

Day 15
Time to drive home. Rather tired of a well-filled program. But with many beautiful, fun moments.

General overview Baroque Route

As already mentioned, we followed the main route. Besides the route we did, there are three more routes. Namely:

The western route
The road starts from Riedlingen West and ends in Meersburg on Lake Constance. It passes through the following towns and villages:
Riedlingen, Altheim, Heiligkreuztal, Ertingen, Herbertingen, Bad Saulgau, Siessen, Ostrach, Habsthal, Krauchenwies, Meßkirch, Kloster Wald, Pfullendorf, Heiligenberg-Betenbrunn, Weildorf, Salem Abbey, Überlingen Birnau, Seefelden, Baitenhausen, Meersburg.

The southern route
With start in Kressbronn am Bodensee, runs partly through Austria and Switzerland and at the endigt Meersburg. Passes through the following towns and villages: Kressbronn am Bodensee, Schleinsee, Wasserburg, Lindau, Bregenz, Bildstein, Dornbirn, Hohenems, Altstätten, Trogen, St. Gallen Abbey, Arbon, Romanshorn, Münsterlingen, Kreuzlingen, Constance, Mainau, Meersburg.

The routes are apparently not yet well known to foreign tourists, and are still largely aimed at Germans. Most of the motor home we encountered were Germans. All documentation and information boards are only in the German language. In the largest tourist centres such as Wiblingen and the Bodensee, you will find brochures in other languages. This does not alter the fact that we were welcomed very friendly everywhere. The locals are always full of smiles and very helpful. It is also striking that in most villages or towns there is a spa or retirement home. You will also find more pharmacists than bakers.

Oral exams were taking place on the floor used by the university. On to the 2nd floor. You walk through the austere corridor of the monastery and at the end of the corridor you see a richly decorated door. Immediately upon entering the hall, our mouths fell open. In the high season the hall is overrun by tourists. But ... we could, without the presence of any other visitor, fully enjoy the splendour. Not a single detail escaped our eyes. Words are not enough. The hall is richly decorated with plasterwork and paintings. The graceful statues seem to guard the tens of thousands of precious books and manuscripts. Impressive ceiling fresco, a gallery on the first floor that is equally richly decorated. The numerous columns appear to be of blue marble. However, they are painted. During that period a special painting technique was used to give stone columns the perfect appearance of marble. This technique is still used today. It was the perfect ending to a very successful trip.
Heading home we stop in Biberach at the camper place, owned by the local brewery (good beer by the way).

Day 14
Our stopover on the way back is in “Bingen am Rhein”. Rudesheim is located on the other side of the water. It is a beautiful camper place. We are lucky again. The last free space is ours. In the afternoon we enjoy the still warm September sun.

Day 15
Time to drive home. Rather tired of a well-filled program. But with many beautiful, fun moments.

General overview Baroque Route

As already mentioned, we followed the main route. Besides the route we did, there are three more routes. Namely:

The western route
The road starts from Riedlingen West and ends in Meersburg on Lake Constance. It passes through the following towns and villages:
Riedlingen, Altheim, Heiligkreuztal, Ertingen, Herbertingen, Bad Saulgau, Siessen, Ostrach, Habsthal, Krauchenwies, Meßkirch, Kloster Wald, Pfullendorf, Heiligenberg-Betenbrunn, Weildorf, Salem Abbey, Überlingen Birnau, Seefelden, Baitenhausen, Meersburg.

The southern route
With start in Kressbronn am Bodensee, runs partly through Austria and Switzerland and at the endigt Meersburg. Passes through the following towns and villages: Kressbronn am Bodensee, Schleinsee, Wasserburg, Lindau, Bregenz, Bildstein, Dornbirn, Hohenems, Altstätten, Trogen, St. Gallen Abbey, Arbon, Romanshorn, Münsterlingen, Kreuzlingen, Constance, Mainau, Meersburg.

The Eastern Route
Is the shortest route. Starts at Rot an der Rot and ends in Kißlegg. Passes through the following towns and villages: Rot an der Rot, Berkheim, Bonlanden, Binnrot, Haslach, Tannheim, Buxheim, Memmingen, Ottobeuren, Kempten im Allgäu, Wiggensbach, Altusried, Legau, Bad Grönenbach, Kronburg, Maria Steinbach, Legau, Frauenzell, Leutkirch im Allgäu, Rotsee, Kißlegg .

The routes are apparently not yet well known to foreign tourists, and are still largely aimed at Germans. Most of the motor home we encountered were Germans. All documentation and information boards are only in the German language. In the largest tourist centres such as Wiblingen and the Bodensee, you will find brochures in other languages. This does not alter the fact that we were welcomed very friendly everywhere. The locals are always full of smiles and very helpful. It is also striking that in most villages or towns there is a spa or retirement home. You will also find more pharmacists than bakers.

Day 9
The route takes us to Wolfegg. Our stop for two days. The camper place on the outskirts of the city is located between the fields and has very spacious pitches. On a hill just next to the camper place, the Loreto chapel overlooks the region. After a short climb we behold the statue of the black Virgin Mary.

A Loreto Chapel is a chapel built after the example of the Casa Santa (Holy House) in the Italian pilgrimage town of Loreto. According to the legend, the Virgin Mary would be born there.
The village square is dominated by two gigantic lime trees, planted in 1887. We walk past the retirement home, the castle and of course the very beautiful baroque church. Then we come across the car museum. Inside you immediately smell the oil from the lubricated engines. Nostalgia everywhere. Cars from the 50s, 60s and 70s. We felt young again! The museum is located in two buildings that are one street apart. With the entrance ticket we bought in the first building, we also had access to the other. Once there you expect someone to check your ticket. But no, no one was there. You could just walk in and out. There were no other visitors either. To round off the sunny afternoon we looked for a spot under the trees on the terrace of the only drinking place in the village. It was open from 3 to 6 pm.
Day 10
Something completely different on the program today: the Wolfegg farm and open-air museum (comparable to “Bokrijk” in Belgium). Partly due to the sunny weather, it is pleasant to walk around. Accompanied by the stray geese and among other farm animals, you visit one farm after another. Very spacious, some hundreds of years old, but all very well maintained and well documented. However, as in many locations on our route, only in the German language. Several farms tell the story of how they hid Jews during the Second World War. Others were the sleeping quarters of Nazi officers.
Day 11
A stopover in Rot an der Rot. Here we visit the baroque church of the former Premonstratensian monastery. The monks and the first provost came from the mother monastery of Prémontré in Northern France. The monastery is now a youth home. After a short walk in the nice village we drive on to Memmingen.
On the outskirts of the city between a few busy roads, we find a place on the camper place. This was soon full. There was not much space between the pitches. Nevertheless, a camper van manages to nestle in the middle of 2 places (where campers were of course). We soon reach the old town through the park. We passed under a gate of the city wall and it was like entering an earlier era. It is a city with a mix of medieval craft houses, large Gothic buildings. The town hall, built in Renaissance style, is proud of the market square. Upon entering, we immediately noticed something. Above the staircase is a beautiful stained glass window with a war scene from the First World War. In the tourism office we received a plan with a numbered city walk. It led us to several interesting corners of the city. Just do the effort. The surprise was at the end of the walk. A former church building. One side was a separate restaurant. The nave used as an exhibition space was truly phenomenal. A very high hall with an armpit. Equipped with gigantic red marble columns. The white ceiling decorated with frescoes and plasterwork of white and gold. Having to stare up all the time was certainly not good for the neck.
Day 12
The end of the route is gradually coming into view. Today we stop in Laupheim. We are alone on the camper place behind the church. This town is not included in the Baroque route, and is not really touristy. There are no places of interest outside the castle (whose rose garden is often used for wedding ceremonies), the Baroque church and the Jewish cemetery (only open by appointment). The intention is to take a break today. It was nice to relax on the castle terrace under the warm sun. By the way, we had very nice weather for fourteen days. A real Indian Summer, but with cold nights. Only damper on the joy were the church bells. They ring every 15 minutes and this 24h / 24h. Slightly less fun when you are just behind the tower.
Day 13
The last destination is the highlight of our journey ... The spectacular library room of the Wiblingen monastery. After the visit to the impressive basilica with all the baroque elements in full glory, we enter the monastery. We had to be quiet on the 1st floor. Oral exams were taking place on the floor used by the university. On to the 2nd floor. You walk through the austere corridor of the monastery and at the end of the corridor you see a richly decorated door. Immediately upon entering the hall, our mouths fell open.

It was the perfect ending to a very successful trip.
Heading home we stop in Biberach at the camper place, owned by the local brewery (good beer by the way).

Our stopover on the way back is in “Bingen am Rhein”. Rudesheim is located on the other side of the water. It is a beautiful camper place. We are lucky again. The last free space is ours. In the afternoon we enjoy the still warm September sun.
