Route description for Fossils - beer - wine


Fossils - beer - wine

Fossils in Swabia, beer in the Upper Palatinate and wine in Franconia: this could be overwritten. In each section of the journey there is enough time to look at the respective specialties or to incorporate them. There is also the opportunity to do some additional side trips (Nuremberg - Lebkuchen). In addition, the numerous lakes along the route invite you to make further stops.

Day

Schwäbisch Gmünd - Stellplatz am Freibad

The starting point is Schwäbisch Gmünd, the oldest Staufer town. It is the oldest attested medieval town founding in Württemberg. Many witnesses from this time still characterize the city today. Market square, St. John's Church, Münster, St. Salvator (rock chapel and Stations of the Cross), Prediger (museum) or the Ott-Pausersche factory (silverware museum) are some of the stops that also justify a stay of several days. The State Horticultural Show 2014 also had a lasting impact on the cityscape and the surrounding area. The "heavenly garden" with the "heavenly striker" are impressive witnesses of this. After a visit to the site, a walk through the forest along the "ball track" down to the "Erdenreich" is a good idea.

Attention: The parking space situation in Schwäbisch Gmünd has changed.
