In the heart of Gemmingen, between the castle courtyard and Wiesenstrasse, is the old stately castle park, which was acquired and renovated by the municipality of Gemmingen in the 1980s. The idea behind it was English gardening.

June 12, 2024,Feierabendrunde mit viel Natur (Massenbachhausen-Gemmingen)

I did my round today at the end of the day.
