This medieval church stands on the southern stretch of the Romantic Road.

Because the Wieskirche is a building by itself in the fields, it's easy to see it's simple architecture from every angle. The interior of the church is one of the best Rococo churches that I've seen. The colors of the paintings on the walls are both vibrant and subtle at the same time and painted in a way that you can concentrate on detail without being overwhelmed by the experience. The placement and size of the windows lets you follow the flow of the oval shape on the outside and illuminates the objects on the inside so that you can easily take it all in. It is said that a statue of Christ wept tears near this site in 1738 and began the pilgrimages to the site. I've been to many churches in the world and this one is on my top ten list. Many concerts are held here because of the excellent acoustics. Parking is cheap and convenient.

This walled village houses mercantile buildings dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. The fortified wall has sixteen towers; you can access the city from four of them.

Drove the Romantic Road in August. This was one of our favourite villages of the trip. Straight out of a Grimm's Fairy Tale. Cobblestone streets, friendly folks and a very peaceful atmosphere. The houses and businesses are rendered in late Renaissance facades with pastel colours and half-timbered frames. So photographic and charming. We parked on the outer ring and walked into the town through one of the four medieval gates that remain . This town has a history! Probably starting around the 8th century. It was once a "Free Imperial City" of the Holy Roman Empire. In the 13th century the fortifications began. Luckily this town is original, untouched by WWI or WWII bombings. Forward thinking in the 19th century, by Ludwig I proclaimed the city to be a heritage site to be preserved and protected. Delightful shops, bakeries, cafes, inns, restaurants and churches. Well worth an afternoon of roaming around. Highly recommend saving time to walk the fortification walls or at the least climb the St. George church tower. Delightful!

While driving through the area, we stopped at a bakery in this small town. The lady in the bakery recommended that we stop in the church and we are very grateful for her suggestion. The inside is very ornate and beautiful. They had a large and extensive nativity on display as we were there just after New Year’s Day. We wish the gift shop had been open.

A small laboratory located in the former Physical Institute of the University of Wurzburg, now the University of Applied Sciences Wurzburg, was the sight of one of the most important scientific breakthroughs in medical history. On November 8th, 1895, Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen discovered a new kind of ray, which he called X-rays. Opened in 1985, this historic site honors W.C. Rontgen and his discovery, while providing an insight into physics of the late 19th century. Due to the current situation concerning COVID-19, the Bavarian Ministry of Science has ordered that all state libraries and museums are closed. For this reason, the Rontgen Memorial is also closed until further notice. Guided tours that have already been arranged will not take place.
