Wertheim, Germany

There are plenty of charming towns in Germany, it seems. Wertheim fits that description quite nicely.

It's an area with about 24,000 people that is at the point where the Main and Tauber Rivers meet. Sure enough, it had an Old Town, filled with charming buildings that look like they belong on a post card.

There's one industry that is associated with Wertheim - glass blowing. In fact, during our tour a glass blower demonstrated his skill for our group - which was considerable. He sold quite a bit of merchandise once he was done. You can visit the glass museum.

And of course, you can have a pretzel while you are there. One family has operated a bakery there for 13 generations. That's a lot of twisting. And there are plenty of restaurants and shops, including the usual souvenir stands.

Here's an introductory video for the town:
