Attractions

For an excellent view, take a walk on the town ramparts. The wall tour, from the massive 16th-century Spitaltor (at the end of the Spitalgasse) to the Klingentor, takes about a half-hour. To fortify yourself for this walk, you can stop at one of the many kiosks in town selling the local pastry called schneeballen (snowballs), a round, sugar-coated pastry that's fattening but delicious.

If you want to escape the tourist hordes, you can rent a bike at Rad und Tat, Bensenstrasse 17 (tel. 09861/87984), for about 10€ ($13) per day. Get a map from the tourist office and head out along the Tauber River with a picnic lunch.
