    We stop by this town for one night.  The town is unique because it was never modernized or built any new trendy buildings after the 30 year war, so they happily maintained the town for 250 years.  Well, that worked out for them now.   Many people flock to this town to see all the old buildings within its medieval walls. 
      Just don't try the sneeballs (a.k.a "Snowballs").  I do not know why I bother to say it, because we were warned not to try them and guess what we bought two different kinds to see how bad they really could be.  It is one of those old traditions that should have died with the past.   Yet, every pastry shop has them proudly displayed in the front windows. The plain dough balls are not appealing, but they do come in various other coatings that help cover the dough ball flavor.  Hmmmm.....salty dough, my favorite.
      Definitely worth a stopover. It was peaceful here to just walk around and look at the green pastures and forested hill beyond the city.  This is part of the "Romantic Road" and I can see why.   If you had a car, bike or bicycle it would be a a good couple days of scenery and little towns.
