The market square of Mosbach is one of the most beautiful in all of Baden, and the Palm House from the early 17th century is its undisputed star. Take a closer look at the hand-carved decorations on the beams: they show symbols from faith, craft, and the everyday life of the builders and tell their own story if you take the time to read them.

In addition to the pavilion's neglected appearance, the street noise also bothered me here. A bright spot here is the good information board about the surrounding nature reserve. And yes, there is also a view of Mosbach here.

In the pedestrian zone, restaurants and cafes as well as small, often still owner-operated shops invite visitors to stop and linger.
