About this activity

Explore Gengenbach, one of Germany's most photogenic medieval towns, on an intimate 90-minute guided walk through its charming half-timbered centre and storied backstreets. Your professional guide reveals the layers of this former Free Imperial City, from its knight-emblazoned Marktplatz to its famous advent calendar façade and artisanal chocolate heritage.

Welcome to Gengebach, one of the most beautiful towns in Germany and well known for its chocolates. The city boasts a picturesque, traditional, medieval town centre, which in winter turns into the world's largest advent calendar house with its 24 windows. Admire the fountain at Marktplatz with a statue of a knight, a symbol of Gengenbach’s medieval status as a Free Imperial City. The best way to know more about Gengenbach’s history is to explore around its narrow back streets, lined with listed half-timbered and shuttered houses framed by vineyards and orchards.
