  • The Rathaus (town hall) building on the main square is worth taking a look at. It has some really nice frescoes and other intricate decorations, an astronomical clock at the top, and a fountain in front. When we were here there was a couple celebrating a special occasion here - I think it was their anniversary.

    Things To Do: The Castle on the Hill
  • Tip Rating:
  • Be sure to walk up the steep street to the castle for some beautiful views overlooking the town (this is where I took my intro picture from). It was originally a fortress and is relatively plain-looking as far as castles go, but the views are worth it, plus there's a museum here now. Inside the main castle courtyard we got a peek at the museum's Greek sculptures through the windows. Walk through the inner courtyard to the other side of the castle and you'll find the perfect grassy picnic spot with lovely views of the whole area.

    Things To Do: The Stiftkirche

  • I loved this stained glass window in the Stiftkirche, with its angels in red flying around and blowing their horns. The sculpted tombs of former dukes of Wurttemberg are also quite interesting, and can be found behind the altar. The church has a tower you can climb, but the tower was closed during the off-season when we were there.

    Directions: in the AltStadt (Old Town) section, uphill from the market square.
