An imposing Romanesque church from the 12th century, unfortunately it was already closed at the end of October. The cemetery contains old graves with impressive tombstones.

The old city wall surrounds the historic town center, which is easy to walk along. Sights such as the stream, old buildings, and half-timbered houses can be admired on both sides of the path. In the town center itself, you can also see beautiful old houses. Unfortunately, most of the narrow streets are accessible by car, so a leisurely stroll on foot is slightly hampered, but not a hindrance.

A very beautiful local history museum with many exhibits and information. The museum café, run by the local history society, is always worth a visit.

It's always nice to enjoy nature here, whatever the weather, which has surprised me many times. I recently saw fallow deer in the meadows. In spring, irises bloom in the streams and pink bittercress blooms in the meadows.
