GERMANY

"Rothenburg
ob der TauberIdyllic medieval town"


Walk around this small town on the Romantic Road is like a journey down the centuries.

Its proud town hall, lofty towers and stout town walls, its churches and patrician houses bear witness to its history as a powerful free imperial town.

Here history is not just dates, it is a vivid and still palpable experience.

With its elaborate half-timbered buildings and imposing fortifications, the Rothenburg townscape is still much as it was in the Middle Ages.
