Waldemar took us to look at Engen's “old city”. The beautiful church was built between 1200 and 1250. Most of this historic area dates from that time.
Then we went to a ruined castle on top of a mountain close by called Hohentwiel. It is a “national park” and a steep walk to the top. It has magnificent views of the surrounding area. The castle was largely destroyed by Napoleon when he came through. Some battles were fought in the area. The castle was given up to him without a fight but he destroyed it anyway.
