The medieval town of Bremgarten is a real beaut.
That's a wooden covered bridge over the river.
The little red building you see in this photo is not a toll booth in the middle of the covered bridge but, a mini chapel housing religious statues. Though you can't see it, there's a second similar mini chapel directly across from this one.
The cherry tarts pictured here are excellent! I had three. Benny's bio bakery is located in Bremgarten's medieval town center. Normally I don't bother going into a bakery when it has the words "bio" anywhere on the outside of the place. Why? Because the goodies usually are boring and nothing has any taste. Glad I didn't follow my rule of thumb here.
Yep, those are nails sticking out of this unhappy looking guy.
There was a festival going on as I cycled through this small town located not too many miles from Bremgarten. The big draw was this boating contest. Evidently two people get in one of these metal boats and using only some kind of oar/paddle, they have to maneuver their craft through a series of challenges along this river. The river current was very strong with strength and skill being needed. Counted several hundred contestants of all shapes, sizes and ages--including women folk.
The best part were the bbq's going on along the riverbank. Had a terrific sausage!
Here I am in this German-speaking town and find a sign in English advertising a car wash AND a dog wash!
These two greet cyclists passing by.
This waiter looks to be directing me to his restaurant
This colorful display of flowers stands next to Baar's city hall.
This town near Cham, Switzerland takes a different way of announcing births. In the USA one sometimes see cardboard or wooden storks on a lawn announcing a birth. Here, they build a tall pole and place a small christmas tree atop. These two are for Olivia.
A few buildings over I see an announcement for Corby. Hmmm, he gets only one tree.
Bad Zurzach is a Swiss spa town. Kind of dated and not up to snuff like the many I've visited in Germany.
Not happy to find this castle near Bad Zurzach's town center closed. Still the gates are pretty impressive.
