Rothenburg ob der Tauber — Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Röder Gate (Rothenburg ob der Tauber)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Röderturm with its fortifications is very beautiful and impressive. The tower can be climbed and offers a great view of the city and the surrounding area.

The old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber offers countless photo opportunities. Even if you walk through the city carefully as a local, you will always find places that you have not consciously noticed for a long time.

This is where the Tiefenbach and Ens rivers converge. Beautiful lake right on the bike path. Here you can relax and listen to the croaking of the frogs.

Bad Windsheim Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

In Bad Windsheim, you can relax in the expansive spa gardens and enjoy the special atmosphere of Middle Franconia's only spa, while bathing in the Franken-Therme spa's highly concentrated salt lake with a salt content of almost 27 percent. The famous brine spring offers soothing treatments for your skin and respiratory system, allowing you to leave the stresses of everyday life behind. Right outside the city gates lies the Steigerwald Nature Park, a paradise for nature lovers with its ancient beech forests, sunny vineyards, and numerous hiking trails. Here, you can explore the diverse landscape on the Steigerwald Panorama Trail from Bad Windsheim and experience the tranquility and beauty of nature.

A beautiful place with a historic city center. It is very nice to sit in front of the Döbler brewery - and you can taste it there too.

Old vaulted bridge made of sandstone. Year of construction would be interesting?

Today we went to the tourist hotspot Rothenburg ob der Tauber. A lovely tour through the Aischtal (the Aisch is small, the valley is big) on easy to ride, quiet roads. We drove through small villages and the Franconian Heights. The highlight was of course the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber with the impressive city wall and the …

Pedaled to Rothenburg today in a strong headwind, very nice section of the route. On the way back with a nice tail wind, it went back quickly. That was the reward!

Day 3 of the tour Bamberg/Rothenburg and back. Today on well-developed cycle paths and again very well signposted, we set off very early so that it was cooler. The churches in Burgbernheim and Schweinsdorf are very beautiful and absolutely worth seeing. Rothenburg is always beautiful - and there was even space to run with a bike - but for lunch …
