MEDIEVAL TOWNS · ROTHENBURG · DINKELSBÜHL · NUREMBERG · BAVARIA
Three medieval towns in Bavaria. Rothenburg. Dinkelsbühl. Nuremberg. One private chalet as your base.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Dinkelsbühl and Nuremberg are all within 45 minutes of the Büchelbergerei. Stay in a private spa chalet, explore a different town each day, return each evening to your own hot tub.
Most visitors to these towns move from hotel to hotel — a night in Rothenburg, a night in Dinkelsbühl, a night in Nuremberg. There is another way: use the Büchelbergerei as a fixed base and drive out each day. You unpack once. Your hot tub and sauna are waiting every evening. And you see each town at a different time of day — not just the hours when the tour buses arrive. The route between the three towns follows the famous medieval highway through Franconia — one of Europe's great cultural corridors.

»We saw Rothenburg in the evening when everyone else had left. Then drove back to the chalet. Best decision of the whole trip."«
The towns — what makes each worth a full day.
| Town | Why visit | Distance |
| Rothenburg ob der Tauber | One of Europe's best-preserved medieval walled towns. Visit in the evening when day-trippers have gone — entirely different atmosphere. | 45 min |
| Dinkelsbühl | Smaller and quieter than Rothenburg, equally beautiful. Largely unknown outside Germany. | 35 min |
| Nuremberg | Imperial city, 14th-century castle, Germanic National Museum, exceptional food scene. Germany's most visited Christmas market in December. | 45 min |
| Weißenburg | Remarkably intact Roman ruins — baths and fortifications — within a charming small town. | 25 min |
How to plan your stay — three towns, one base.
Three towns, three days minimum. Four or five is better — it leaves room for an unplanned afternoon, a longer lunch, a second look at something you almost missed.
Day 1: Arrive via Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Park outside the walls, walk in through the Rödertor gate. Stay until the day visitors leave — late afternoon light on the Marktplatz is worth waiting for. Drive to the chaletdorf (45 min).
Day 2: Dinkelsbühl, 35 minutes from the chaletdorf. Smaller, quieter, fewer people. The Georgskirche and the old town walls take a morning. Afternoon: Fränkisches Seenland — cycling or swimming.
Day 3: Nuremberg, 45 minutes. The Kaiserburg castle, the old town, the Documentation Centre, the market. A full city day. Return to the chaletdorf for sauna and hot tub.
Day 4+ (optional): Weißenburg Roman ruins, Ansbach baroque town, Altmühltal cycling. Or simply stay at the chaletdorf — the lakes, the walks, the pool.

The chaletdorf as a base.
Location. Near Gunzenhausen in the Franconian Lake District — geometrically central between all three three medieval towns.
No daily check-out. Unpack once. The chaletdorf is your home for the duration, not a staging post.
Evening recovery. After a day of cobblestones and crowds: your own outdoor hot tub (Whirlpool), private sauna, saltwater pool. No queuing, no booking, no closing time.
Breakfast at the door. Fresh breakfast basket delivered daily — so the morning starts at the chaletdorf, not in a town-centre café.
Dogs welcome. Some chalets are dog-friendly — useful if you are driving through Germany with a dog. Please mention at the time of booking.
