Gengenbach at Christmas
Old Town Walk, Holiday Market and Advent Calendar Ceremony Discover the yuletide traditions of Gengenbach during a stroll through its Old Town and Christmas market. Meet your guide and set off on foot through medieval Gengenbach, passing through one of the historic city gates and walking along narrow, cobblestone alleyways. See the baroque-style Benedictine abbey and St. Mary’s Church, its impressive tower considered one of southern Germany’s finest, as well as the 18th-century Löwenberg Palace and the half-timbered Scheffel House. Enjoy free time to browse the Christmas market, where you can search for mementos or sip a cup of mulled wine and nibble on roasted almonds. Cap your tour at the Town Hall, each year it is transformed into the world’s largest Advent calendar house. Immerse yourself in the festive spirit of the season as you watch the daily opening of another calendar window on the building’s facade, then return to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
