Walk around town

Forchheim is known as the Royal City, it's first mentioned in 805. Owing to Forchheim's fortifications, it got through the Thirty Years War without being overrun even once. Several times from 1632 to 1634 the Swedes tried, this was the time the townsfolks earned the nickname wall shitters. It came from their practice of defecating over the city walls during a siege, to demonstrate to the Swedes that there was still enough to eat in the city, and that their siege was ineffective and pointless.
