Donauworth

One of the former Free Imperial Cities located along Bavaria’s Romantic Road, Donauwörth boasts an impressive location at the meeting point of the Wörnitz and Danube rivers. Today, the small town is best known for its eye-catching architecture, painstakingly restored after WWII and characterized by the rainbow of painted townhouses that line the Reichstrasse, Donauwörth’s main street. 
Once you’ve finished snapping photos, be sure to pay a visit to the quirky Käthe-Kruse-Puppen-Museum, which pays homage to the town’s famous handcrafted dolls, then pass through the imposing city gate, Rieder Tor, and cross the bridge to the scenic Ried Island on the Wörnitz River.
