Tour description
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the most perfectly preserved medieval town in Germany, a walled jewel on the Romantic Road of timber-framed houses, cobbled lanes and the famous Plönlein corner. Walking its streets feels like stepping into a fairy tale. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history.
You will stand on the main market square, wander the timbered lanes, and walk sections of the intact town walls. Along the way you will hear about the medieval trade, the Thirty Years' War and the town's remarkable preservation. Magical and historic, Rothenburg is a wonderful town to explore on foot.
