If you are traveling between Nuremberg and Stuttgart, stop in Dinkelsbuhl, A beautiful quaint town with an absolutely beautiful and well worth seeing St. George Church. It is a wide-aisled late Gothic church, built in 1448-1499. Lots of nice carvings and artifacts.

The city hall of this picturesque, undeveloped village reflects its anachronistic spirit.

Centered in the old walled city. It was festooned with colorful Christmas Market decorations and market stands serving everything from seasonal favorites like spiced wine to open fire roasted bratwursts, chestnuts, and more. Specialty shops included Christmas gifts and regional traditional decorations. The Rathouse serves as a beautiful backdrop for the Christmas Market.

The first globe ever made is here! This well-laid out museum has something for everyone, from bronze age implements to medical weapons, to Durer artwork. We spent about 3 hours here, well worth the visit!

St. Jacob's is on the pilgrimage route to St. James's grave in Spain, and should be visited for its beautiful wood carvings and stone sculptures. A peaceful stop in a very touristy destination.

Attended Tina Turner Concert to see grand-daughter performing in Feb 2020. You need to be there to see the amazing rooms and the main concert hall. The location is gorgeous with separate rooms, salons and gardens next to the river and rose gardens. Probably best to visit in summer when you can see it at its best

This beatutiful house is on the bank of the river opposite the Altes Rathaus. It is an excellent shade of blue and the trim looks like lace. Makes for great photos.
