The Church Crawl
When the group leader turned left at Sulzburg City Hall I knew it would be a longer than necessary walk. To get to St. Ilgen a right turn was required, at least if you wanted a direct route. Marching through the forest meant that my wife, who took the vineyard route, managed to be waiting […]
Another Day, Another Holiday
In Canada when there is a holiday approaching everyone knows it. Every store has a sign in the front door giving their holiday hours. Whether it is closing early Christmas eve, or just for the morning on November 11 to commemorate Remembrance Day, they want their customers to be informed well in advance, so they […]
Sunset
Was walking into the vineyards at the edge of Sulzburg and saw this. The pictures really don’t do it justice.
More From The Pentecost Craft Market
Three days of sunshine and the vendors at the Pentecost craft market in Sulzburg were, I imagine, quite pleased. Crowds were indeed even more numerous on Saturday and Sunday. It looked to me like a lot of things were being sold, though I admit I only paid attention to the food. Yes, I did get […]
Happy Pentecost
It is Pentecost Sunday, a day in the church calendar that can vary in importance depending on which particular branch of Christianity is doing the celebrating. In Germany (or at least in my part of Germany) it is a big deal. I say that, not because I have seen any particular emphasis on the […]
The Kiosk
It’s the size of a phone booth (if you remember phone booths) and empty of everything except hope. It showed up in Sulzburg’s market Square Wednesday. I think it is a place where people can bring their books and take something different. I saw one in Staufen, when we were there a few months ago. […]
It’s Back!
I was expecting it to return May 1, but didn’t see the Christmas tree return as a May Pole. Mind you, I wasn’t in Sulzburg on May Day either, so I could have missed it. Friday afternoon though the tree was back in the market square. I didn’t know why. Then, when I saw a […]
Today’s Bargains
I held off on posting this until I had been to the Flohmarkt (flea market) being held today in Sulzburg’s market square. Flea markets don’t hold much appeal to me, but it is tough to resist one that is a minute’s walk from my door. Not that there is anything that I need or want […]
Walking to Britzingen
It was a beautiful Saturday and my wife suggested we walk to Britzingen, which is about three towns from Sulzburg, depending on how you go through the vineyards. Round trip is about 10 kilometres (that’s six miles for Americans). We have walked to Britzingen before. The first time, back in October, we walked there from […]
Lumbering Along
Friday evening we went for a short walk in the Black Forest. It was getting dark, so we chose to turn right at the first trail instead of our usual left. That took us up a path we hadn’t taken in a few months, but it was quickly obvious the road was well used. On […]
