STAY: Hotel Fregehaus
Nestled in a charming garden courtyard in the historic city centre is the Hotel Fregehaus (hotel-fregehaus.de). Owner Sabine Fuchshuber studied architecture in London and in Weimar, Germany, before entering the hotel business, and it shows. This impeccably clean, stylish and quiet boutique hotel blends the beauty of an old-world building with sleek, minimal design. Make sure to indulge in the breakfast of regional offerings, such as fresh fruit, hearty bread, cured meats and cheese.
