Tips from the Community

Liebliches Taubertal
May 12, 2026, Rothenburg ob der Tauber Old Town

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 🏰 lies on 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 too, it is still recognizable that you are traveling on the former railway lines.

Great place for biking, hiking, and walking 😌 The light in the forest is absolutely gorgeous, depending on the weather it's downright magical in the fog, and the colorful autumn leaves are a highlight anyway 🍁🍂.

A wonderful little Franconian town. Packed with tourists. Like an anthill. Lyrics: "Tower of Babel." Lots of cobblestones. Best to push your bike.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a German town in northern Bavaria known for its medieval architecture. Half-timbered houses line the cobblestone streets of the Old Town. The city walls include many preserved gatehouses and towers, as well as a covered walkway above the wall.
