Alsace has been described as “where France crashes into Central Europe”. I don’t know about Central Europe, but it is definitely where France and Germany collide, albeit today the collision is much more peaceful than it was in the past. I just came back from a two-week vacation spent in Alsace and its German counterpart – Schwarzwald. Since I am a bit short on time to write about the trip, and since I have some great photos, I will just show you where I’ve been.
Classic Alsatian views in Colmar
Toy museum in Colmar is fantastic
Dozens of trains in the Colmar toy museum
Colmar itself is not bad at all
OK, the weather in Colmar helped a lot, too
Hiking with children in France…
…and in Germany
The vineyards in Freiburg are right in the city
Sweet grapes of Alsace are ripe for the picking
Smelly Munster cheese goes great with Gewurztraminer
A Schwarzwald kindergarten
A young farmgirl 🙂
