Euro Trip 2013 - Germany - Kornbach & Gefrees


On my way back to Gefrees with Elisabeth, I had her drop me off at my oma and opa's hometown of Kornbach which is about 10 min away from Gefrees. I had a beautiful hour to myself to explore the snow covered town, and the sun actually made an appearance for the first time in week! Last time I was here in 2006, the temperature was bordering on 40 C; this time it was well below 0 C. I walked from my oma and opa's house, through the forest, down a snow covered field, by the old school houses, visited the WWI & WWII memorial sight, through the town (40 houses) back up to my oma and opas house.

After that Elisabeth picked me back up and drove back to Gefrees. She dropped me off at the church that my oma and opa got married in; unfortunately this time it was locked. After that I told Elisabeth I would walk back to her house so I walked around the town and enjoyed the afternoon taking pictures of places I've heard stories about.
