We are off to explore a new city to us. Freinsheim, Germany. Freinsheim is a smaller town in the Bad Durkheim region. It is a really cute, quaint wine village. We arrived early and the town was quite and the fest had not yet begun. We walked around the winding roads within the city walls discovering vines everywhere covering doorways and old towers, stumbling across pieces of history, and window shopping. We ate brunch at cafe. The Stadtmauerfest begun that Sunday afternoon, the Town Wall Festival. It is held the third weekend of July every year where the historical gates are opened and lots of local wines are served at different areas within the walled city. This is one of the largest wine festivals in the region.
We even made some friends while sitting down with a glass of wine listening to live music. This family is German but there daughter in law is Polish and her son is the one sitting by me. They even invited us to their home for homemade perogies! We are looking forward to this day.
Our day ended with a stroll through the near by plum orchard and a gorgeous sunset before we parted ways back home and me to Landstuhl. We will be back to Freinsheim, we loved this small city and they do have a lot of fests throughout the year. Maybe even the Christmas Market, Weihnachtsmarkt, this year.. they are known for their Nativity scene where they use live animals!
