Waldenbuch Old Town Tour on Saturday, May 23
Dear Members and Guests,
We would like to invite you to join us on Saturday, May 23 for a tour of the historic center of the small town of Waldenbuch. We will meet at 15:30 on the marketplace at the fountain (for further details see >>).
Waldenbuch: Idyllically situated between hills at the Schönbuch Nature Park, Waldenbuch exudes a very special charm with its half-timbered houses, fountains and staggered streets in the historic old town. Both the town church of St. Veit with its 36-metre-high church tower and the beautiful castle inspire all visitors.
At 16:00 the guided tours – one in English/one in German – will start at the marketplace. The tours will take us through the well-kept old centre of Waldenbuch. Come and join us and learn more about the mysterious stories from way back in time.
At the end of the tour, at approximately 17:30 we will gather up and have dinner at the Restaurant “Friedrich”, enjoying our meals à la carte. The restaurant is located in a historic building which used to be Waldenbuch’s old postal office. The restaurant is named “Friedrich” after the great German poet Friedrich Schiller who once made a stop there.
We kindly ask you to pay 5 € per person (members) or 10 € per person (non-members) on the day of the event at the meeting point. Just be prepared – there will be some walking on cobblestones and climbing of stairs. Make sure to wear appropriate shoes.
Please make your reservation no later than Monday, 18 May, 2026 with:
Ralf Faustmann: e-mail r.faustmann@gac1948.de – or –
