Andreas Schoser reports directly from his holidays in Trochtelfingen - the craddle of the populous Swabian Schoser clan: the small town is currently under heavy construction. Heavy machinery is tearing up the tar surface of the main street to renew the underground sewage system and to eventually replace the surface with traditional cobble stones. Works will go on from July to October putting a heavy strain on holiday makers and Trochtelfingers not used to this noise level.
Similar works have already been carried out in the 'fishermen's quarter' and along the Seckach stream. Once finalized Trochtelfingen will display a more authentic look and shopping and strolling around in this scenic town with its half-timbered houses and cafés will be even more enjoyable.
