It was a bit of serendipity that we chose to visit this town on the day they celebrate their annual festival of “kinderzeche”. The town celebrates the date on which it is said the local children pleaded with an invading army to leave them unharmed. All the locals dress in medieval costume and re- enact the event. They also set up a medieval village just outside the town wall as part of the festivities.
We had perfect weather and a great day enjoying the community spirit and this wonderful town.
Medieval Day!
Picturesque town streets
The children reenact history

More street views ( Michelle made me add these last two even though I thought there was enough already - I hope you appreciate them and tell her how right she was...)
Thanks Ben, really appreciate the extra 2 images - I now get a better idea of how lovely the town was.
