Kaufbeuren

It’s a popular stop on the Romantic Road, and for good reason – the well-preserved old town is a delight to wander, with narrow cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and a lovely clock tower. There’s also a castle, a couple of churches and a brewery, and the surrounding countryside is perfect for hiking and cycling. If you’re looking for a taste of traditional German culture, Kaufbeuren is a great place to start.
