Herrenberg - a stunning 13th-Century Town in Germany
The countryside of Germany is home to a bounty of stunning little towns and charming villages dating back to the Middle Ages, each one just as pretty as the next. They are so beautiful, full of character and old-world mystery, each has its own story to tell.
From the medieval buildings to scenic areas like the Black Forest or simply souvenirs, Herrenberg can provide its visitors with much more. This is a fairy-tale town located in the gorgeous southwestern portion of Germany that can give you a very memorable experience of going back to the 13th century.
What to do in Herrenberg
In Herrenberg, you can visit the Old Town center with the historic church and the famous Bell Museum, or Glockenmuseum. In the museum, visitors can learn a lot about the history of bells in music. If you visit it on the first Saturday of the month, you will be able to attend an unforgettable concert of bells here. Set apart from other more traditional types, the baroque Foundation church is also worth visiting because of its large onion dome atop the tower.
In case you’re looking for a more traditional German experience, you will not be disappointed. There are a number of good restaurants and cafes that serve Swabian food. There is also much to do and see in this town. Herrenberg is well suited to hiking or biking in the vast nature that surrounds it. It is a stone's throw from Schwarzwald, the famous Black Forest.
You will definitely appreciate a postcard-perfect snapshot of half-timbered "Fachwerkhäuse" houses and pretty but so solid doors, fountains and narrow streets with so many stairs. So don’t forget your walking shoes. It is a highly pedestrianized town.
Retreating to Herrenberg is the perfect way to escape the big city, take a step back in time, and enjoy the slow-paced way of life, as well as go shopping at one of the many markets and spend nights at the theater, cabaret, or musical concert. This beautiful German town will inspire you for your next visit.
