Dinkelsbuhl

Small town Germany is probably over-idealized in Dinkelsbuhl - through random events of history it was really successful and rich in the 1500-1600s and then not enough money left to tear down houses afterwords so it was very preserved in that little-rich town style. the core city had about 1000 people, suburbs outside but the preserved historical core generates most of the money... very charming, really, steet roofs and heavy timber construction, winding cobblestone streets and shutters for the windows... cute cute cute in the sunshine. a little opressive in the clouds.... the weather was generally pretty good for us though. moody, really fast clouds for the first few days. Hard to not summarize a lot.... Posted by Picasa
