Fodor's Review:
Among Bad Wimpfen's finest 15- and 16th-century half-timber houses are those on Badgasse (Nos. 8 and 10), Hauptstrasse (Nos. 69 and 83), and Klostergasse (Nos. 4, 6, 8, and 9). The 13th-century stained glass, wall paintings, medieval altars, and the stone pietà in the Gothic Stadtkirche (city church) are worth seeing, as are the Crucifixion sculptures (1515) by the Rhenish master Hans Backoffen on Kirchplatz, behind the church.
In late August the Old Town's medieval past comes alive during the Zunftmarkt, a historical market dedicated to the Zünfte (guilds). "Artisans" in period costumes demonstrate the old trades and open the festivities with a colorful parade on horseback.
