Coming from the Rubachtal valley, you can see the remains of the former Gattenhofen swimming pool on the left, immediately before the bridge.

The lake is very natural with a beautiful reed belt. During smaller gusts, branches fall from the old trees. Maybe they have reached the end of their lifespan and it should be thinned out. As you can see in the picture, it is so quiet there that not even the small grass snake can be startled.

Here the Tauber is truly a very idyllic little river. A bit off the beaten track up in the town.

There are many places from which you have a great view of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, but I find the view of the medieval town, with its unique silhouette and towers, most beautiful from the Tauber Valley or from Engelsburg Castle.

During my visit, it had little water or was partially drained. In any case, a very quiet location with a beautiful trail on the western edge.
