Exploring Ravensburg
Ravensburg, a quaint town nestled in the heart of southern Germany, is a gem waiting to be discovered.

Upon arriving in Ravensburg, and during a guided city tour we were immediately struck by the town’s timeless beauty. The cobblestone streets and well-preserved medieval buildings transport you back in time. One stop was the Marienplatz, the bustling central square adorned with the stunning Marienbrunnen (Mary’s Fountain). We wandered through the maze-like alleys, admiring the colorful facades of the historic houses and browsing the charming shops selling local handicrafts and delicacies.

We also climbed to the top of the Mehlsack, the iconic tower that dominates the town skyline. The panoramic views from the observation deck were simply breathtaking, offering a bird’s-eye perspective of Ravensburg and the surrounding countryside.
