The crust is lighter and thinner, and there is no tomato sauce or cheese, but instead a delicious cream. For toppings, the ...

We caught the wrong train and wound up in Gengenbach. While we were waiting for a train back we met a lady who told us the town had a beautiful old-town section. So we went discovering again. After a good look around we stopped at a pub while we were waiting for the next train and got talking to the owner. Turns out he'd been to Australia on holiday, so we had a good time talking to him until it was time to go.

... little room. Reminded us of a room that belonged in a German Grandmothers' house. The hotel was great and had wonderful accomodations. The inn keeper spoke a lot of English and lent us a hiking map the next morning. All in all the accomodations were exactly what we were looking for!
