Excellent museum depicting everyday life through the ages for the middle and lower classes of the…read moreregion. Ironically housed in a hunting lodge of a Duke of Wurttemburg from yore. If you have time ask the receptionist to point you in the direction of the nearby Glashutte museum. Housed in a two story house it requires about 30-60 minutes to see a good exhibit about the peasants uprising that occurred in the region.

I would eat here daily if I could. The food is so good. I always get the Armer Ritter, the vanilla…read moresauce is probably my favorite thing in the whole world. It's a sickness how much I love it here. It's also a great place to bring people from out of town, they live to eat, shop in the store and visit the museum.

By far our favorite breakfast spot in the area!…read more Definitely worth making a reservation on the weekend as it gets full early, but if you go with a small party right when they open, you can usually get in right away. If all the tables have the little chalkboard indicating reservations, take a look at the time listed, they often have the signs up on the table hours before the reservation, and if you can eat before the listed time, then you're free to use the table. As far as breakfasts go, they've got a ton of choices. Everything from a huge selection of breads and rolls (the Gegrilltes Landbrot or grilled rustic bread is fantastic), to muesli, to scrambled egg plates (Aichtal Frühstücks; with just eggs and bread, with ham and bread, or with tomato and mozzarella and bread), to a breakfast panini (the Italienisches Frühstück), all of which were fantastic. Most of the frühstücks also come with a small coffee, but they also have a great selection of hot chocolates if that's your preference. They recently (-ish) updated their printed menus so that all of them now have the English translation, which is helpful if your German ist nicht gut. I don't think I've ever had a server who spoke anything but German, but they're always been (relatively) cheerful and if you can read the menu you can point and get what you want! The only real shortfall, aside from the tables filling up quickly, is that they don't do drinks to go (they literally don't have to-go cups), so you can't take a hot chocolate with you on your way out. Otherwise, this place is awesome. ((And don't forget to swing by the chocolate shop on your way out, especially the room in the back with the test flavors and cheap mixed-bags!))

I really enjoyed this museum and felt as if I learned a lot as I moved through the fossils. The…read morebiggest drawback was the lack of English support. We luckily used the Google translate option that translates pictures (recommend for overseas trips). Otherwise you would not be able to read anything. The way the museum lays out the exhibits is the best part. You move through time and see fossils, which are then depicted in a scene. The scenes are extremely realistic and they allow you to get up close. I truly enjoyed seeing all of the exhibits and wished only that there were more tranlastions with the captions.

A wonderful fossil collection, the best I've seen in Europe thus far. All the placards are in…read moreGerman but there is an audio guide, for 2 euros, with great information filled commentary. A majority of the fossils displayed are from Germany, e.g. Holzmaden, Ohmden, Solnhofen; and boy oh boy are they GREAT specimens. Don't forget to see the amber collection, just wonderful. Sad to say, but most folks just want to see the dinos.
