Pretty town with lots of character
Con
Hard to get to.
In a nutshell
Outstanding and beautiful!
BruceDunning Says: Now a hostel for about 17 beds. Markanter FAchwarkbau back in 1508 built this as a corn storage building. It has been modified and reworked many times since, and no doubt modernized inside now for lights and toilet.
BruceDunning Says: This was not open for viewing, and maybe has not been for quite some time based on the look of being desolate. The tower also called Schuldturm connects to Zwingerhaus. Behind the tower is the park garden area.
BruceDunning Says: The tower gate was the main entry from the north in the older days and that was back in the 1400's when it was built in 1390. It is one entry for Imperial Cities to be merchants of trade and food goods. There was once an entry to get to the mid section of the tower, but now...
BruceDunning Says: Dating back to 1378, this church was a dedication to three kings and now is only used as a memorial of wars. It has Spitzbogigen Fenstern and Walmdach. There is no entry from what I noted, and looks usually closed. It sits on the acess of a split street leading to...
BruceDunning Says: It is the gate on the west side of the town and dates back to about mid 1500's. It was damaged in Thirty Years War because the Swedes attacked this side most vigorously. They breached the wall here, and entered the town. The moat on the outside only held them back for some...
Nordlinger Museum of Dimension 3rd Dimension
BruceDunning Says: This museum features holographs, 3D perspectives, illusions of things and distortions, and light and laser shows. The tour is not much to see here. It is open 10-6 daily and only until 4PM on off months and then Saturday and Sunday only. Entry is free.
BruceDunning Says: This street is mostly made up of residences of the locals living within the walls and some businesses for normal daily needs such as plumbing, electrical and some food stores. At the end of this three block long street is Nordlinger Tor
BruceDunning Says: This is the main street for the shopping and branches off with the Winemarket buildings. The end of the street leads to Rothenburger Tor, and is only a couple of blocks long. The Gastof Gold Hirsch is in the middle between some other retail shops and stores for locals to buy...
BruceDunning Says: This red decorated facade was built in 1773 and used since 1855 as the current town hall after the Geschichtehaus was used for other purposes that was owned by von Krieg und Frieden. The town hall is active today and going inside is administrative offices mostly.
BruceDunning Says: This museum is very nice, and not publicized as much as it should be. Inside the Haus Geschichte which also is the town hall and the tourist information office is the museum taking up 1/2 of the large building. The museum itself shows a lot of history of the town from the...
Haus der Geschichte-Information and Museum
BruceDunning Says: This is located in the Altrathausplatz near the Wornitz Tor gate. It is used for tourist information, local events, and has the town history museum which is worth a visit. The tourist office times are 9-6Pm daily Monday-Friday and 10-5Pm on weekends, but have some lesser...

Pizzeria Sorrento: Perfect for a casual Italian diner
MD2nd Says: Pizzeria Sorrento is another dining place among those plenty of restaurants in Dinkelsbuehl's historic center. In regard of all the fancy places there with them pointing out the medieval flair and historic settings, I actually liked the simplicity of this Pizza place. Most...
Fischer's Zundt Bactferei Cafe: Warm and Friendly Cafe
Roadquill Says: The pastries looked great and, as expected, tasted great. I went back later for a schnitzel sandwich that was tender and very good. The staff were very welcoming. I ended up eating outside on a cool day. And any cafe with a name that long is certainly worth trying....
gubbi1 Says: Coming to Dinkelsbuehl you will notice parking areas at the main entrances into the old town. In the case that you want to spend the day here it is recommendable to park on one of these parkings as parking in the old town is restricted by time. Here the parking needs a...

What a strange place! Inside, the front part of the store is a drugstore. Walk through it to the back and there are shelves upon shelves of Birkenstocks at prices I've not seen anywhere else. (and I've looked). Someone had told us about this store, otherwise we would not have known about it. It is very unassuming and we probably would have walked on by not knowing about the booty in the back...
What to buy: Birkenstocks. discounts given for multiple purchases. What a deal!
What to pay: 35 to 43 euro

History of Dinkelsbuehl begins around 10th century
MD2nd Says: The recorded history of Dinkelsbuehl begins around the 10th century when a fortress was erected at the intersection of two trade routes. Many structures, especially from the 15th and 16th centuries, are beautifully preserved.. Some of the sights to see in Dinkelsbuehl,...
MD2nd Says: Most of the town’s citizens embraced the protestant faith. In 1546 Emperor Charles V conquers the Schmalkaldischer Bund, the town is ruled by a Catholic council and St. George’s Minister is ceded to the Catholic minority. 1618 The Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648) takes its toll...

500 years ago people used to be way smaller than the average height of today. That's why door sills at medieval houses can be surprisingly narrow. So keep your eyes open and... always mind you head! ;)

The City's tourist office will provide you for a small fee with an inexpensive map that has a tour with explanations of the various buildings on the inside of the walls as well as an outside the walls tour. Either way, the buildings and views are very picturesque.

Elena77 Says: If you're travelling to Dinkelsbühl in Summer and you're not into Heavy Metal music, do avoid the 3rd weekend in August. That's when the annual Summer Breeze Open Air does take place. It's a pretty large event and it might affect your stay. The average number of this...

Dinkelsbuehl - a smaller and quieter Rothenburg
I guess the VT member Leipzig adviced me to visit Dinkelsbuehl, and not only Rothenburg ob der Tauber while on the Romantische Strasse. Indeed, Dinkelsbuehl is a smaller medieval fortress city, like...
On and Off the Road In Dinkelsbuhl
Had I known it would take two hours by train from Stuttgart to Alsbach and then another hour on a public bus to Dinkelsbuhl, I would have left much earlier. Unfortunately, the haze from participating...
The small town of Dinkelsbühl, close to Ansbach in Bavaria, today still is an extraordinary example of a medieval German urban-planning context. The old part of the town is remarkably well preserved...
Though gfs and me have not planned to travel the Romantic Road, one of the most popular tourist routes in the world, we yet eventually did the Romantic Road. By coincidence. Fortunately we did so as...
