E32: Dinkelsbühl 10th May

We ended the day at what is arguably one of the quaintest and most authentic medieval towns along the ‘Romantic Road’.  Unlike many of it’s counterparts Dinkelsbühl, originally founded in the 8th century, was saved from destruction in the 30 years War and ignored by WW2 bombers and therefore has remained in an almost original state….

Outside the town walls the countryside is idyllic….

The wall has 18 towers of all shapes and sizes and there is a lovely walkway around the perimeter….

  1. Had to look back for the 'camo' phoon. Love all those old towns. They all look spotlessly clean. Amazing how Germany restored a lot of war damaged buildings. Looks beautiful.
