A large, very beautiful market square with the town hall as its central focal point. On the left (looking towards the town hall) is the Kepler Monument, and just behind it is the City Museum. On the right is the tourist information office.

A natural path that runs directly along the Würm. In some places the embankment of the Würm is a bit steep or has partially slipped, so this path should be walked with a certain amount of caution.
