1 hour, 15 minutes

Dinkelsbuhl

Dinkelsbuhl, Bavaria

Dinkelsbühl could be called the "little sister" of Rothenburg - just as romantic but not so crowded. It is the perfect place to have lunch (not included), your guide can recommend a good restaurant to you.
The old town is dominated by the tower of the Gothic St. Georg-Church, a visit to the almost 60 square meter nativity scene inside is definitely worthwhile! The Dinkelsbühl Christmas market, located in the historic 'Spitalhof', is open daily from 1 p.m., on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Bavaria

> the viewpoint at the former castle's location
> the splendid 'boulevard' Herrengasse with the overwhelming Christmas world and much more!

Back to the main square:
Nestled in the picturesque setting between the town hall and the church, the Rothenburg Christmas Market, called the 'Reiterlesmarkt', is one of the most charming in Germany. And as one of the few, it has a centuries-old tradition, as the name suggests. The "Reiterle" comes from the Germanic legend world and - like Santa Claus - is a lucky figure that delights all people through his visit. (Open daily from 11 a.m.)
