Dinkelsbuehl - Romantic Road
Dinkelsbuehl - Romantic Road of Germany

On your way alongside the Romantic Road of Germany you will come across a beautiful little town called Dinkelsbuehl. This town is about 30 miles south from Rothenburg ob der Tauber. What makes Dinkelsbuehl so special is the very well preserved city core with its medieval architecture. You will see gorgeous half-timbered houses, glorious ancient trading houses and massive churches of historical relevance. The flair of Dinkelsbuehl attracted many expressionist painters and other artists looking for inspiration.

A significant sight in Dinkelsbuehl is the Minster of Saint George. This is truly one of the most beautiful hall churches in Germany. It was built in the middle of the 15th century and should be on your list of sights you want to see when travelling the Romantic Road. From outside, the church seems rather usual, but the inside architecture is really amazing.

Every year in the middle of July, you can witness the annual town celebration. The reason for this fest goes back to theyear 1632. During 30 Years War, Dinkelsbuehl faced a threat from Swedish troops ready to conquer the town.

 

According to the legend, a brave woman from Dinkelsbuehl crossed their ways with a swarm of children melting the heart of the Swedish general to spare Dinkelsbuehl. Obviously the plan succeeded - The well preserved town is truly a highlight across the Romantic Road of Germany.
