Before choosing where to stay

Where to Base

Stay within the old town to easily access the intact city walls, St. George's Collegiate Church, and the River Wörnitz on foot. Choosing accommodations slightly off the main thoroughfares ensures a quieter experience while maintaining proximity to historical sites.

Airport Connection

There is no direct airport connection. The nearest major international airports are Munich (MUC) or Nuremberg (NUE). Access requires train transfers or car rental, with a drive time of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, making it best suited for self-driving travelers.

Best Season

Spring and autumn offer pleasant weather for walking the historic streets. Summer features outdoor historical events, while winter provides a festive atmosphere. The town is visitable year-round, but early booking is recommended during peak seasons due to limited accommodation capacity.

This is the second restaurant run by Florian Kellerbauer in the historical centre of Dinkelsbühl.

Florian Kellerbauer's kitchen philosophy centres on quality ingredients, with a strong commitment to regional and seasonal sourcing. Diners can opt for a set menu – either with meat or vegetarian – comprising four, five or six courses. You can also order à la carte. The service is friendly, attentive and professional. The restaurant occupies a prime spot in the historical centre – Kirche St Georg just opposite is well worth a visit. For overnight stays, there is Hotel Deutsches Haus, a patrician house dating from 1440, or in the Ehemalige Sparkasse, both just 50m away.

Hirsch

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€17.0 km

"Modern tavern cuisine" is the name of the game in this family-run establishment, which has been in business for 12 generations in a quiet suburb of Ellwangen. At the helm is the son, Dennis Wiche, who has previously worked in several MICHELIN-starred restaurants. The menu features an abundance of appealing dishes, from regional classics such as Zwiebelrostbraten (roast beef with onions) and spaetzle… to the chef's more modern options, such as vitello forello (with smoked trout). Be sure to try the house-made Maultaschen (dumplings), and don't miss out on delicious desserts such as their take
