Rothenburg is considered one of Germany's best-preserved medieval old towns, and the first glimpse of the half-timbered facades around the market square immediately shows you why. If you have some time, a walk along the completely preserved town wall is worthwhile. From above, you'll see the old town's roofscape from a perspective you won't soon forget. In the early morning, the city is still quiet and almost belongs to you alone.

The newly asphalted and partly prepared with fine gravel cycle path 🚵🏽♀️ between Dombühl via Diebach to Rothenburg ob der Tauber 🏰 follows the old railway connection 🚂 from Dombühl to Rothenburg. The tracks 🛤️ are no longer there, but the old, restored station building of Bockenfeld still exists. In other places, it is still recognizable that you are traveling on the former railway lines.

Exciting legend🧜 💦 In sunshine, you can see to the bottom along the edges of the "Bottomless Hole" and observe the water plants and small fish 🐟. Only approx. 100m from the cycle path that leads to Rothenburg, and therefore a clear recommendation for everyone who hikes 🥾 or cycles 🚵🏽♀️🙃 nearby.
