Nestled in the Wörnitz River Valley lies the ancient imperial city of Dinkelsbühl, with its unique cityscape. The nearly complete walls, one of the few in Germany, with their towers and gates, surround one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Germany.

At the crossroads of old trade routes in the city center, the late Gothic-style St. George's Cathedral still stands out over the picturesque historic center, with its colorful half-timbered houses and narrow streets.
