This Rathaus is right in the prominent center of the old town, a great place for photo opportunities. The entire town can be covered in 30 - 45 minutes in one circuitous walk. A very beautiful town with excellent resturants.

Regular happenings in the square. We were there for a wine festival and other entertainment. Beautiful place to lounge and just sit back and soak up the ambiance.
