Dinkelsbuhl

Another wondrous walled medieval city. This time a smaller, more romantic and the less tourist covered town of Dinkelsbuhl. The towers in the town walls are houses, an amazing place to live. Outside the town walls, are ponds backing onto the towers of the walls. Truly beautiful scenes of arches in the walls and towers reflected in the water of the ponds.


The weather improved significantly during the day, a couple of short showers, enough time to duck into a bakery to buy more of the local delicacy, an odd pastry ball, kind of like won ton pastry all wrapped up into a ball and then deep fried and coated with chocolate or icing sugar
After the small city adventure we headed south to the end of the Romantic Road. This could be a piece of the world you could spend a month exploring, but we have too much of Europe to see now. The Romantic Road has take us through vineyards, intensive farmland with apples, pears, goats and sheep, and now into the Alps with soaring peaks and reflective lakes.
