Dinkelsbühl is a walled city that people compare to Rothenburg but less touristy. I thought it was smaller then Rothenburg and definitely had less shops there for tourist things. We enjoyed just walking around taking in the sights. I love the look of the German building and houses. I was never really into architecture until we moved here and I find the building in Germany fascinating. They had several of towers around the edges of the town along the wall and also had water around the outside with fish and ducks which the kids enjoyed watching. We stopped at a little bakery for a snack. They kids enjoyed donuts and Colby and I got Schneballs for the first time. They were covered in chocolate and one had coconut on it also. They were pretty good but not something I would want all the time. I like more chewy and soft things then the crunchy pastries.
In order to get my postcards we stopped in a grocery store. They had a very extensive beer and wine section so of course we had to check it out. Colby picked up a little wooden box of 3 different beers which actually ended up being horrible, according to Colby. As we wondered some more we happened upon the tourist information by chance. Right there was an interesting underground exhibit. We aren't 100% sure what it was since the signs were all in German but Colby thought it was a dungeon type of thing. One side had signs and an actually museum type thing but the other side was just rooms. The one room was definitely a dungeon with shackles still there. The kids of course had to put there feet in it. It was too heavy for them to have around their wrists.
We had a lovely Sunday morning and afternoon exploring a small city close to us. The drive from Ansbach was beautiful too since we stayed off the autobahn in order to enjoy a lovely sunday drive around the countryside.
