A vacation in Gengenbach
So charming. So active. So diverse.
A vacation in Gengenbach. Happy half-timber houses with wooden shutters in crooked lanes. Formidable towers with stork's nest on the top or an old oven inside. Artfully forged pub signs and street lanterns hanging on the houses. Stone boxes filled with flowers and Renaissance arches. Quaint little shops and cafés.
And the magic threshold of the city gates. When you walk through them you walk into another world. A romantic, historical and charming world. Delightful, cozy, secure. Sundials still tell the time of day here. You can sit and enjoy the luxury of watching time pass here on a vacation in Gengenbach. With the feeling that everything is just splendid. Laissez-faire with half-timber charm. That is the Gengenbach feeling.
Gengenbach. Kinzig Valley. Black Forest. Ortenau.
So much diversity in such a small place. So many opportunities for leisure activities on a vacation in Gengenbach. The blue ribbon of the Kinzig River, that you can bike along leisurely for kilometers. The fruit orchards that turn whole stretches of land white and pink in spring. The woods of the Black Forest which stretch little by little to the mountains. Vineyards that lure you to go on a wine hike and that spread colorful happiness in the fall. A truly blessed region. A favorable climate. The chances are good you will enjoy a sunny vacation in Gengenbach. And it will be extremely pleasant no matter what.
Start directly from the hotel and explore Gengenbach & the surroundings
Die Reichsstadt – Hotel & Restaurant is located in the heart of Gengenbach. The name reminds us of the golden days when Gengenbach was a free imperial city with special privileges. In ten steps you can walk from the Engelgasse to the Victor-Kretz-Strasse, on your left is a medieval city gate. On the right is the historic market square with the city hall and straight ahead is the Benedictine Monastery. Hiking paths branch off from the town in every direction, in the level surroundings or into the heights – up the little mountain or even further up into the Black Forest – through vineyards or forests.
