    Market Church To the Holy Spirit

    Step inside the Market Church To the Holy Spirit. It is the largest wooden church in Germany, built after the great fire of 1634. Take a moment to look up at the massive organ and the great altar before the late afternoon crowds arrive.

    Restaurant Glück-Auf

    Walk one minute to Restaurant Glück-Auf for a late lunch. The service is attentive and the food is well presented. This is a good time to eat as it is before the dinner rush begins at 17:30.

    Mac Geiz
