Forget the immaculate, postcard-ready fairy tales. Reutlingen is a city built on beautiful mistakes, catastrophic fires and poisonous medieval crafts. Join Luke, a skeptical sociologist, and Maria, a passionate local historian, as they uncover the gloriously absurd soul of this Swabian city. From squeezing through the narrowest street in the world (according to Guinness World Records) to decoding the grinning bronze faces of medieval bakers, this tour reveals the rough, quirky and sometimes hilarious reality of history. You'll never see a half-timbered house with the same eyes again.
