Külsheim also calls itself the fountain city and lives up to this statement. Beautiful and well-kept old town. Small but nice.

The Bismarck Tower stands on the Höhberg and was ceremoniously inaugurated on October 4, 1903. Erected by the Academic Holiday Association Tuberania, it is a 9-meter-high granite column with a plaque and fire bowl at the top.

St. Wolfgang's Chapel dates back to the 15th century and was once a pilgrimage destination. It is idyllically situated west of the town, across the Tauber River, and is still the scene of the traditional Whitsun ride.
