Creglingen

A town of landscapes and miracles of light

This Alemannic settlement in the upper Tauber Valley still has a historical old town with a fine ensemble of buildings. Remains of town fortifications, the former castle and numerous halftimbered houses bear witness to the town‘s history. The ‘Marienaltar‘ (Altar of the Virgin Mary) by Tilman Riemenschneider in the Herrgottskirche (Church of our Lord) is eminently worth seeing. And the countryside around Creglingen boasts gentle meadows, dreamy little villages, with much woodland and water.
