Probably the only "must see" in this quaint little Bavarian town. St. Johannis Church was built in the 16th century. The tower and steeple dominate the town, but still quite small scale as compared to the great cathedrals of Bavaria.

Northern Bavaria is a great wine region, even if it might not yet be famous. I found the Franconian wines to be most enjoyable. It is always easy to spot a Franconian wine because they employ a bottle that is oval shaped at the bottom, tapering up to a normal wine neck at the top. Looks a bit like the genie's bottle if you remember the old "I Dream of Genie" series from the 60s.

Favorite thing: I don't know the answer.
