In a nutshell
great little german town
Maryimelda Says: The Debtor's Prison and Caretaker's Lodge sits on the pond right near one of the entrances to Dinkelsbuehl. It makes a lovely sight but in it's original application would have been a house of horror for those housed there. It also forms part of the fortifications of the city...
Maryimelda Says: In the Weinmarkt there can be found a number of buildings which were originally storehouses for tradesmen and merchants in medieval times. In the main photo you can see the red building which was known as the Ratsherrnstube. It served as a tavern for the city councillors,...
Maryimelda Says: I have long been known for doing things upside down, inside out or back to front and my experience of the Kornhaus in Dinkelsbuehl is yet another example of my expertise in this field. I arrived at the Church of the Three Kings and noticed this building almost adjacent to...
Maryimelda Says: Benninger and Hauber is a florist shop in Dinkelsbuehl which really caught my eye. It has an extremely attractive facade which is adorned with a wonderful fresco of the Holy Family over the door. From time to time in my travels I have come across shops like this that for no...
brendareed Says: On our second visit to Dinkelsbühl, we walked around more of this walled city, one of only a few that were not destroyed in the wars and date back to medieval times. Dinkelsbühl’s wall has a collection of unique towers and gates, each one is different. Unlike other towns...
brendareed Says: The first time we were in Dinkelsbühl, it was almost winter time and the church tower at Münster St. Georg was closed for the season. However, on our second visit to this colorful town, we arrived later in the day but managed to pop into the tower just before they closed it...
brendareed Says: This tower was something we passed by as we walked from the Segringer gate headed north towards the Faulturn. While we couldn’t enter it, we liked the look of it with the small ivy-covered cottage that sat beside it. It was worth a stop for some photos before we headed on...
brendareed Says: This tower is located on the north-west corner of the town (west of the Rothenburg Gate/Tower) and is part of an old debtor’s prison. It currently is a garden that leads through the wall for a beautiful view of the Rothenburg Pond. We found it by chance as we walked along...
brendareed Says: As we walked from the Christoph Schmid birthplace, we turned the corner to the right and on the corner was the Schloss (palace). It wasn’t open for touring on the day we were there, but we were able to admire it from the outside. It was located here in 1390 when the town...
brendareed Says: As we walked around the city wall, we stopped by the Segringer Gate that is located up the hill. Once there, we turned around for a nice view of Dinkelsbühl with its city buildings and the Wörnitz Gate on the opposite side. You can walk through the gate to see the remains of...
brendareed Says: Across the street from the Munster are five awesome gabled buildings from the 1600s that make up the “Wine Market” – the Gustav-Adolf Haus, Zur Glocke – a patrician house, the Deutsche Haus, Bacchus, and the Schranne - a barn with decorated obelisks. They are colorful and...
Gasthof Goldener Hirsch: Great lunch
Maryimelda Says: This is a very busy restaurant which is part of a very popular hotel in Dinkelsbuehl.The decor is as you would expect, traditionally German and my impression was that for such a busy establishment, it was very cosy. Service was extremely efficient and friendly. I was very...
Maryimelda Says: This is one of several wonderful bakery cafes in Dinkelsbuehl. The perfect stop for morning coffee on your walk around the town. Great coffee and a wonderful assortment of local pastries and breads. I opted for a beesting which was mouthwatering.
brendareed Says: We’ve been to Dinkelsbühl twice so far and each time parking was very easy. On our first visit, we took the easy way and followed the signs for the public parking areas located just outside the wall, parked, and walked into town. On our second visit, it was later in the day...
Maryimelda Says: The train from Fuessen left me at Noerdlingen and from there I had to take a bus to Dinkelsbuehl. Unfortunately the buses don't run very often and I had a wait of about two hours or more at the bus station outside the Bahnhof in Noerdlingen. Thank God I had a good book. To...
Helpfulness
For those allergic to bees, you may want to avoid Dinkelsbühl, the town is filled with them. Perhaps it is because of all the flowers. In any case, they seem to be very attracted to Coke Light. Check out the photo, we trapped 3 bees in our cups at lunch in Dinkelsbühl.

Helpfulness
A lazy way of seeing Dinkelsbuehl is to go on the horse and carriage ride. I have learnt to see a place like this or on one of those little train thingys before I go walking, so that I can get my bearings and know what I want to see and what I don't. the horse and carriage ride was quite extensive and only cost 8 euro, HOWEVER, what I failed to ascertain before I paid the money was that the commentary was only in German, which was fine for those who spoke German, but left me right out in the cold. I'm not sure if there is a service where the commentary is in English, but I would advise anyone who doesn't speak German to find out before parting with your money, what language the commentary will be.
Unique Suggestions: I would be lying however, if I said that I did not enjoy the ride anyway and yes, I did get a few ideas of places I wanted to explore more closely.

This is not a Rathaus review....
Maryimelda Says: The reason I am displaying this photo of the new Rathaus in Dinkelsbuehl has nothing whatsoever to do with its history or architecture or its official uses.No it is much more important than all of those Rathaus facts.. The reason that I am doing an Off the Beaten Path tip is...
brendareed Says: Dinkelsbühl’s Tourist Information Center is housed in the old Rathaus (old town hall) at the Altrathausplatz near the Wörnitz gate very near to the back of the Münster St. Georg. They are very friendly and offer assistance to travelers about their town. In the courtyard of...
brendareed Says: When traveling in Europe whenever you are visiting a restaurant or a museum, try to use their WC facilities if at all possible. Typically they are maintained and are free. But sometimes you are just walking around the town and find you have a need. If you find yourself in...
We stopped in Dinkelsbühl during a weekend in Bavaria. Not knowing much about the town, I was struck by the uniquely painted and very colorful buildings lining the streets! Each building had a...
Delightful Dinkelsbuehl, a monument to culture....
Dinkelsbuehl certainly is delightful and certainly is a monument to culture. I don't rightly remember who said that, but it is very true. It's only a little town, but it stands as tall and as majestic...
Dinkelsbuehl: Lovely town with a cute name
This was a favorite stop for us. We had just left Munich, and we were on our way to Rothenburg when we decided to make a detour. We ended up spending several hours here, and we loved it! I highly...
Small but quaint. 2 Hours will cover it. Going south from Rothenburg, just a short distance before you come upon Dinklesbürl. No need to stay here, but the town should at least be given a stop. If...
