Beautiful old town with many half-timbered houses. The cathedral is particularly impressive. We were there on Wednesday. The weekly market is a shadow of its former self. 10 years ago it was much busier.

We enjoy driving along the Greenway – the bridge, restored but not offering a great view, spans the wooded valley. More interesting, however, are the remains of the railway line at the end of the Greenway.
