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.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber City Wall

Highlight • Monument

The city wall in Rothenburg leads around the whole city. The route from the Klingentor to the Spitaltor is completely accessible. On the side facing the valley, it is only provided with a battlement between Stöberleinsturm and Kohlturm along the hospital quarter, the so-called Kappenzipfel.

Cycle Path in Naturpark Frankenhöhe

Highlight • Cycleway

The newly asphalted and partly prepared with fine gravel cycle path 🚵🏽‍♀️ between Dombühl via Diebach to Rothenburg ob der Tauber 🏰 runs along 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 can still be recognized that you are traveling on the former railway lines.
