The biggest imperial palace north of the Alps was established in Bad Wimpfen at the end of the 12th century under the Staufer dynasty, to which Friedrich I (Barbarossa) belonged.The skyline of the former Imperial Town sits majestically on top of the hill with its two keeps which have survived until the present day - the “Blue” and “Red” Towers – as well as the Imperial Palace Chapel, the Palace Arcades and the “Stone House”.Each Sunday at 2:00 p.m., guides in historical costume give tours of the old town and the Imperial palace.
If you like the medieval setting and you haven't been to Bad Wimpfen yet, just go. It's is a true gem. It's hilly and has cobblestone streets, so it's not the most mobile-friendly. If you can do the hills, the main street offers everything you need for a nice couple of days away, and the rest of the old town makes for a lovely walk. Sitting on top of a hill right next to the Neckar makes for beautiful views and lovely walks. We will be returning, hopefully in not too long.
