We were just passing and popped in out of curiosity. We were delighted with the frescoes in the entry chapel , the light and airy church with curiously slope-roofed side aisle and old paintings of bible scenes

If you are traveling between Nuremberg and Stuttgart, stop in Dinkelsbuhl, A beautiful quaint town with an absolutely beautiful and well worth seeing St. George Church. It is a wide-aisled late Gothic church, built in 1448-1499. Lots of nice carvings and artifacts.

St. Jacob's is on the pilgrimage route to St. James's grave in Spain, and should be visited for its beautiful wood carvings and stone sculptures. A peaceful stop in a very touristy destination.

St. Koloman

Reviewed By TryppAdams - Minneapolis, United States

You will drive by St. Koloman or Coloman's church on your way to Neuschwanstein. I'd encourage you to pull of, get out of your car and take a few pictures. You will be joined by weddings and others but early am offers less of a crowd. The valley surrounding the church is almost as spectacular as the mountains and castles.

Stiftkirche Rottenbuch

Reviewed By TNFUN1400

While driving through the area, we stopped at a bakery in this small town. The lady in the bakery recommended that we stop in the church and we are very grateful for her suggestion. The inside is very ornate and beautiful. They had a large and extensive nativity on display as we were there just after New Year’s Day. We wish the gift shop had been open.
