April 10, 2025,Laufenburg erkunden (AG - CH / Baden - D)

Today we visited a friend in Laufenburg and then explored the area a bit. Laufenburg in Switzerland and its twin town in Germany are two beautiful towns worth visiting. I will definitely be back :-)

From April 13th to 27th, 2025, lovingly and elaborately decorated fountains can be admired in both twin towns.
