Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Rothenburg ob der Tauber
4.6/5 · 199 review
Highlights:
Rothenburg is located on a plateau in the Franconian region of northwestern Bavaria, overlooking the Tauber River. This is the part of all the German cities that preserves the medieval old towns in a relatively complete manner. Rothenburg is the quintessence of a small medieval town in Germany. It was not destroyed by the war, and has been repaired as best as possible in the past 20 years. Its well-preserved old town fully reproduces the medieval style, like a photo studio for classical films. The small town has winding stone alleys, quaint houses, guarded by city walls and towers, as well as charming gardens and the flowing water of the Tauber River. It is very beautiful and artistic. Time seems to stand still here, full of fairy tale atmosphere.

This is one of the iconic landscapes in the city of Rothenburg.

On either side of the path are beautiful traditional wood frame houses and a small fountain. Here is a microcosm of Rothenburg's characteristic street scene.
