Dinkelsbuhl

June 17- We left the village of Hohenschwangau and headed north up Interstate-7.  We would stay on this highway all the way to Hamburg in the north.  The first 220 miles of this road is known as Der Romantiche Strasse, the Romantic Highway. It is the ancient road that connected southern Germany with the heartland.  It is sprinkled with castles and medieval cities that just exude Germanic charm.  The first one we stopped at was Dinkelsbuhl.

We spotted a storks nest on top of the building at the rear,

which turned out to be the old City Hall, complete with a 

dungeon in the basement.

The church at Dinkelsbuhl was old and very stately

This is a typical scene in the town

This picture was taken just outside the city walls
