Romantic Road - Day 2

We had an early start today, all thanks to being at a truck stop, once they get going at 6am the noise never stops. It was however, for the best. As our first stop for the day was Dinkelsbuhl (or as I like to say Dinkelsbutt, it’s just easier and sounds funny), which had 16 towers and some of the original fortifications to see and was only 30 km away. We had a quick breakfast of cereal (the breakfast of choice nowadays) before we headed out. On the way to Dinkelsbuhl we passed through the town of Feuchtwangen. Outside of the towers and fortifications, we weren’t sure of what there was to see in Dinkelsbuhl. We did manage to get internet access outside of the Minster of St. George, “one of Germany’s most beautiful late Gothic hall churches”. We used the internet connection to finally get some posts up on the blog, as it has been well over a month. Sorry guys for the delay. When our computer ran out of battery power we decided to just keep heading down the road, this time passing through the town of Wallerstein and stopping in the town of Nordlingen Im Ries. The aerial view of this town is pretty cool. The town itself is still completely surrounded by the original town wall. When researching, we learnt that you can still walk completely around the wall, so we decided this town was worth a stop. In addition to this, it had a free place to stay for the night. It was pretty cool to walk the wall, but outside of that, there was not much else to see. It was also still pretty early so Julie did some research and found another free place further down the road in Danauworth, roughly 30 km further down the road. So off we went, on the way, we passed through the town of Harburg. When we arrived in Danauworth, we hooked up the van for some electricity, one euro for the night and I convinced Julie to head into town to see the street this town is most famous for, as well as look for a grocery store. The town itself has two rivers running through it, the Danube and the Wornitz. The Reichsstrasse is said to be the most attractive street in Southern Germany. It was nice, but I wouldn’t go bragging about it.
