About Dinkelsbühl

Dinkelsbühl is a medieval gem on the Romantic Road and is considered one of the best-preserved late medieval towns in Europe. The fully intact city walls with 16 towers and the colorful half-timbered houses along the cobblestone streets transport visitors directly to the 15th century. The St. George's Minster is a masterpiece of late Gothic hall architecture, and the annual Kinderzeche festival tells the legend of the children who saved the town during the Thirty Years' War.
