Timeline

  1. 13:30

    Trafik Burger

    Grab a quick burger to go. Trafik Burger is open and just a short walk from the museum, making it easy to fuel up before exploring.

  2. 13:45

    Swabian Heritage Museum

    Enter the Swabian Heritage Museum. The building itself is a piece of history, originally built by livestock farmer Melchior Keller around 1740. Explore the local history exhibition and the collection of painted German peasant furniture while the light is still soft.

  3. 15:00

    Convent Garden

    Walk to the Convent Garden. This walled park with its ponds and winding paths was once a prayer area for nun candidates. It is a peaceful spot to reflect on the town's past.

  4. 15:30

    Benedekék Falodája

    Head to Benedekék Falodája for a sit-down lunch. This traditional Hungarian restaurant serves local cuisine and is open late enough to enjoy a meal before the evening sets in.

  5. 15:50

    Szabadságoszlop

    End your walk at the Szabadságoszlop. This public art piece offers a final moment of stillness as the day winds down.
