Photos of the VERY old town where I spent the summer

As you may know, I spent the first part of the summer at a clinic in Bad Gandersheim to try to recover from various health problems that I have...

The clinic was in Bad Gandersheim, a very old town which was first mentioned in 852, and which has a strong historical and cultural background; very interesting. There are several convents, and a very old church.

Some of you have asked me for photos of a town that old (more than 1,000 years old), so here they are:

The crypt of the Stiftskirche (the church), very eerie:

:eek: WoW so so BreathTaken with Beauty.. Oh I wish I could go there.. You know I am from Frankfurt Germany.. I am full blood.. I was adopted & would love to go back some day.. Great great photos.. many thanks

Oh Kirsten, what a lovely town!! I love those old buildings!

What a difference to the clinic you stayed at. The surrounding area looks nice though. :)

It's so sweet that you have photos of Luna and Lily by your bed. :love: Give them some kisses from me and Fister.

Oh how pretty! I enjoy going to places with a lot of history. Nowhere in the US has THAT much history though! Someday I hope to go to places like that.
Thanks for giving us a peek! :D

WOW Kirsten, all of those pictures of the town could be postcards! They are wonderful.

I smiled when I saw your room, complete with your girls at your bedside!

Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Wow!! What a beauiful town. I hope you're feeling better.:love:;)

Absolutely beautiful pictures Kirsten! :)

Not all of the pictures are loading all the way for some reason.. but from what I can see, it looks like such a lovely town! What I would give to be able to visit somewhere so full of history and beauty...

I will try to see the pictures again later in hopes that all of them will show up then. :)

Kirsten:
What wonderful pictures and such a quaint little town. The one thing that strikes me right off the bat is the lack of traffic and so few people walking around. I love the architecture. Oh yes, and I notice pictures of your love furbabies beside your bed. I'm sure they were a great comfort to you while you were there. I love that sick painting too! Glad you are back home and hope you are feeling much better. :love:

Yes, it's a beautiful little town, even older than the one I live in.

Really? Do you remember Frankfurt well? How old were you when you left?

Great photos, thank you so much for sharing them with us! Yes, I instantly said "There's Luna and Lily!" when I saw your room at the clinic! :)

I'm not quite sure what it was last night, but I am able to see them all today. :)
I love how older places have a great deal more detail in their architecture, its a fresh change from the majority of what you see around here. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful part of the world with us!
