📍Rothenburg Herrngasse 38A, 91541 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany I went to Rothenburg ob der Tauber on a snowy and foggy day. The snow-covered town was so pretty, and the Christmas decorations on every alley and street were so cute that it was fun to see! And there's a Christmas museum, so it's fun to look around because there are so many pretty trees and Christmas items💕 The town isn't that big, so it's a good place to take a walk and look around :) #PleaseWinter #YearEndTravel #NextTimeHere #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotPlace #2018Travel #WinterTravel #Winter #Germany #GermanyTravel #Christmas #ChristmasAtmosphere

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a German town in northern Bavaria known for its medieval architecture. Half-timbered houses line the cobblestone lanes of its old town. The town walls include many preserved gate houses and towers, plus a covered walkway on top. St. Jakob’s Church houses an intricate, late Gothic altarpiece by woodcarver Tilman Riemenschneider. The medieval Town Hall has a tower with panoramic views. The name "Rothenburg ob der Tauber" is German for "Red castle above the Tauber". This is so because the town is located on a plateau overlooking the Tauber River. As to the name "Rothenburg", some say it comes from the German words rot (red) and burg (burgh, medieval fortified settlement), referring to the red color of the roofs of the houses which overlook the river. The name may also refer to the process of retting ("rotten" in German) flax for linen production. The city was most likely inhabited by Celts before the 1st-century C.E. In 950, the weir system in today's castle garden was constructed by the Count of Comburg-Rothenburg. In 1070, the counts of Comburg-Rothenburg, who also owned the village of Gebsattel, built Rothenburg castle on the mountain top high above the River Tauber. The counts of the Comburg-Rothenburg dynasty died out in 1116. The last count, Count Heinrich, Emperor Heinrich V appointed instead his nephew Konrad von Hohenstaufen as the successor to the Comburg-Rothenburg properties. In 1142, Konrad von Hohenstaufen, who became Konrad III (1138–52), the self-styled King of the Romans, traded a part of the monastery of Neumünster in Würzburg above the village Detwang and built the Stauffer-Castle Rothenburg on this cheaper land. He held court there and appointed officials called 'reeves' to act as caretakers. #holidayvacation #staycation #merryxmas #holidayvacation#staycation

Share an experience in Germany. Rothenburg is a very old ancient city that also contains many legends, such as vampires at night, and other ancient stories. The walls are full of the names of donors, a testimony of history. Remember to come to Rothenburg next time you are in Germany!

Germany actually has a fairy tale town that is sweeter than chocolate walked around Germany, the most favorite is Rothenburg, this small town is so beautiful. Rothenburg is the essence of the German medieval town. It has not been destroyed by the war, and it has been repaired in the last 20 years. Its well-preserved old town recreates the medieval style. 1 Rothenburg is a relatively pure tourist city. Beyond the attractions, the city is dominated by souvenir shops, restaurants, cafes and hotels. The Old Town is small and can be reached on foot from all attractions. If you want to enjoy a quiet town, it is best to stay in the city for one night, so that you can carefully look at this ancient and beautiful town in the early morning and evening when a large number of tourists do not appear. 2 One of the iconic landscapes in the city of Rothenburg, at the southern end of the old town, the stone road is "Y" shaped, with beautiful traditional wooden frame houses on both sides and a small fountain. The 3 clock tower platform on the market square can be climbed up to see the panoramic view of the town. Because it is a medieval building, the stairs are very narrow and there is a steep road. Tickets: 2 Euros (tickets are bought at the top of the tower) 4Wrzburg to Rothenburg for more than an hour by train, you have to take a special line to get there.

The fairytale town of Rothenburg, the starting point of the romantic road Rothenburg's German meaning is "red castle", the roof of the house is mostly dark red, small spires, wooden frame, the town is surrounded by a circle of walls and towers Still staying in the medieval style. Located at the intersection of the Romantic Road and the Castle Road, it is also the most medieval-style dream town on the entire romantic road. If you are also preparing for a romantic journey, Rothenburg is a place you can't miss anyway. Since the old town is too small, there is no need for any strategy. The arrangement of the spots does not pay attention to the order of the routes. It is already a pleasure to walk around. Give your feet to the stone road here and give your heart to the beautiful scenery in front of you, which is the perfect way to visit Rothenburg. Walk a day in Rothenburg, a day of fairy tale life. Rothenburg's fairy tale flavor comes from the town's centuries-old bricks and trees, all the fairy tale elements are slowly integrated into this small town with the footsteps of time. When we were in Rothenburg, we met a rare and rare weather, and the blue sky with the orange roof was a natural fit. After a burst of filming, I heard the footsteps and the German language behind the scenes. Looking back, the black Zorro rode and came, and under the visual confusion of the surrounding buildings, I really thought that I had passed back. middle Ages. All the fairy tale bridges you can't imagine, Rothenburg is being shown to you in more ways than you think. Come to Rothenburg, don't overlook the street window. Here, the window is not a window to sell goods, but the perfect embodiment of the owner's inner artistic accomplishment and imagination. A window is a world. It is not so much a window, but a stage of dreams and exquisiteness. It is a fairytale dream of girls. Especially like the ancient towns like Europe, where the place is small, it is easy to play, the famous places have gone through it, and there is plenty of spare time to sit down and have a cup of coffee and observe the life of the locals. You don't have to hurry to hurry to worry about which point is missing, and travel sometimes needs such ample security. So I prefer this kind of town to a big and disorderly city.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, because there are several places in Germany called this place name. It is said that there are only 7,000 people here, but there are a lot of tourist groups. If you want to avoid crowds, you can go around the city walls and castle gardens. Its not really good to see the valley from the garden, but its quite interesting to think of the four elements in the garden with four elements like water and fire. The top city hall can see the panorama. The various texts at the entrance are so funny. The top can only accommodate 20 people, and can only line up slowly. There is definitely enough time to see 360 degrees. Recommended local specialties "snowball", not imaginary sweet, crispy and delicious ~

Christmas to New Year's Day, Germany is also a good place to go to the Christmas market in Rothenburg. This Christmas market is a rare Christmas market in Germany, and the Christmas decorations and art that are sold are unimaginable. Even when I saw this literary shop, people often screamed. The little things in the market are beautiful but very expensive, and a small bell hanging on the Christmas tree costs 25 euros. What's more, the goods inside are actually divided into series. There are ceramic reindeer series, snowman series with silver powder, and puppet series made of iron. Its really hard to choose. Repeatedly entangled and limited budget, I really like it but can't buy it.

Germany, it was really a good weather, unexpectedly sunny, sunny and sunny. The four of us are going to find a shade to start our picnic. When I walked to the city wall, I was shocked by the quaint temperament here. The scenery and temperament of the city wall is different from the towns that have just passed. One is colorful and fresh, and the other is historical and ancient. We found a big tree, laid out the tablecloth, and started our happy picnic. I drank my favorite cola and ate sandwiches and apple cakes made in the morning. This kind of comfortable life makes me want to live here.

Rothenburg is one of the best-preserved medieval towns, surrounded by walls and towers that encircle its ancient streets. I strolled along the cobblestone paths, admiring the colorful timber-framed houses. The shops in the market square sell Christmas decorations and handicrafts, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Visiting the town's museum offers insights into its history and culture. Rothenburg feels like a scene straight out of a fairytale, leaving visitors enchanted.

What to See in Rothenburg -Plönlein One of the most photographed places in Rothenburg (and Germany for that matter) is the Plönlein town square. -Marketplatz In the heart of the medieval town, you will find the Marktplatz. This picturesque square is the historical center of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It is surrounded by a number of historic buildings, including the Town Hall, St. James’ Church, and the Town Hall Tower. If you are visiting during the holiday season, this is also where you will find Rothenburg’s Christmas Market. -City Gates Another thing I really enjoyed about Rothenburg is all of the gates and towers in the city. Where to Stay: There is a wide variety of hotel options in Rothenburg, and I highly suggest staying within the walls. It was so convenient to be able to pop in and out of the hotel for a rest or to charge phones, and not waste any time getting back to the main attractions. Hotel Eisenhut was our choice for a night stay. It’s a four-star hotel made up of four converted 16th century mansions.

This is Rothenburg that I visited last time! The town itself was quiet and beautiful. In particular, the town that blended in with nature was nice to see!! There was also a Christmas market, and there were so many things I wanted to buy, but I couldn't buy them because of the problem of taking them home and the price issue ㅠㅠ If I get a chance later, I would like to buy them and display them at home! #MayTravelSupport #Rothenburg #RothenburgTravel

#NewYearNewTrip The Night Watchman Tour in Rothenburg ob der Tauber is an evening tour at the meeting point at the city's Marktplatz. We saw people standing and listening to the tour guide. The Night Watchman, dressed in black retro clothing, holding a long axe and a lantern, was explaining the tour. In the past, there were people who patrolled and guarded the city gates. If there was anything unusual, they would play a horn made from animal horns to wake the townspeople (along with a horn show). Then, they would walk around the city and explain the history of each spot in detail. The tour took about 1 hour and cost 10 Euros per person. You can pay the Night Watchman at the end of the tour. #nightwatchman #rothenburgobdertauber #germay #germanyroadtrip #europe #europetrip

Nestled in the heart of Germany’s Bavaria region, Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world. With its half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and towering city walls, this charming town looks like something straight out of a storybook or a medieval painting. Founded in the 10th century, Rothenburg flourished as a trade hub during the Middle Ages. However, after the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648) and economic decline, the town was largely untouched by modernization, preserving its historic charm. Walking through Rothenburg feels like stepping back in time, with Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque-style buildings lining the narrow streets. One of the most famous spots in Rothenburg is the Plönlein, a picturesque street corner featuring a leaning half-timbered house, a stone tower, and two diverging cobbled roads—one of the most photographed scenes in Germany. The Rothenburg Town Hall (Rathaus), with #hiddengems
