Viking Today... 7/2

Today the boys leave Nürnberg and head to Ellwangen.

Google maps says it's just over an hour.

Over 25,000 people call Ellwangen home. They have an English version of their homepage. From what reading I did on Ellwangen, it looks like there's a large emphasis placed on their religious history.

There's some nice things to see in the city if the boys have time:
Castle Ellwangen
Historic Town View
Town View
St. Veit Cathedral
Wow
Lots of steeples
Again, wow

The church they're performing in (Wolfgangskirche) was founded in 1476. It may be the one with the rounded towers in the pictures above, I haven't been able to verify that for sure but found some info that leads me to believe it might be. The German page I was reading says that there's "an artistic star vault ribs" in the choir area.

This is a picture taken about 1000 feet from where the contact address is listed. Pretty nice!
