Wow!!!! What a fabulous town nestled into the lower slopes of the Harz Mountains (hills). It has to be one of the most beautiful towns I have been in - its definately right up there with Bruges, Dubrovnik and Bamburg.
We only went there as it was on my cycling route and then discovered it was a UNESCO world heritage site. We were lucky - there were very few people there and just one fabulously beautiful half wooded building after another - all beautifully painted and decorated, often with gold writing on the beams. Winding narrow medieval streets, crooked beams and walls, high slated roofs with little gable windows, brightly coloured decorative walls and beautiful old churches. Just hard to believe we were there in the middle of it having a glass of wine.
