Rosenblütenfest Creglingen

 

rose bloom festival at Creglingen

 

The town of Creglingen, situated in the lovely valley of the Tauber between Bad Mergentheim and Rothenburg, in the north of the German state Baden-Württemberg, celebrated its 7th rose bloom festival recent weekend.

You were able to find and take pictures of hunderts of different roses in the rose gardens as well as at the stalls of the market gardens.

I restricted myself to post just some of the rose blooms I took yesterday, otherwise you'll have to look at too much photos today... ;-)

as beautifully and fragrantly as the flowers she represents. 

Besides all the roses the rose bloom festival offered several other products made from the rosehip or the rose petals.

See you next year on the 8th rose bloom festival at Creglingen!?

Erntedankfest - Harvest Festival

The Harvest Festival is an annual celebration which occurs around the time of the main harvest of a given region - mainly in the Western world.

 

In the southwest of Germany where I live it's a popular tradition to decorate churches with autumnal fruits and flowers. 

This photo I took today in the evangelic municipal church of Creglingen, a small town in the very northeast of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany.
