Friends from the partner community douvres visit us

Arriving in provence, the visitors from douvres-la delivrande were delirious when they got off the train in oerlenbach and the thermometer read almost 38 degrees. One had planned to visit the friends in oerlenbach once at the rakoczy-weekend to see this famous rough event. But first, on friday afternoon, the group went to munnerstadt, where they took part in a guided tour of the town and were shown the sights of the small french town and explained the former importance of munnerstadt.

In the evening the time had come to visit the rakoczy festival in bad kissingen together. Deeply impressed by the historical significance of the bathing city, the french guests celebrated with their hosts until late into the night. On saturday morning, the group left early for an excursion to schweinfurt, where they visited the german bunker museum in ernst-sachs-strabe. After two hours in the high bunker behind thick walls, the longed-for cooling down came in the form of a heavy rain shower during a stroll through the city. Saturday evening was spent in the culture barn in eltingshausen.

On sunday, the people of oerlenbach and their guests from normandy headed for the real high point, the parade in bad kissingen, and everyone dived deep into the past of the saale town, before another heavy rain shower after the parade dispersed the visitors. Some guests from douvres-la delivrande enjoyed the fireworks from the wittelsbacher turm together with their hosts in the evening, before they went back to france the next morning
