Rothenburg ODT and other less pretty places

by · Published · Updated

We stopped by Wurzburg to see the Residenz a Baroque palace and then continued to Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber (Red Castle above the Tauber). Rothenburg is the prettiest place we have been in Germany and it was not over run by tourists in April so it is one of my favorite places so far. A lot of the village within the walls is original to the 14th – 16th century and what was damaged in WWII was carefully reconstructed to give the entire village a storybook feel.

The Residenz garden
with a lovely fountain
and a lovely woman
Our wonderful 16th century apartment. Lots of stairs but worth it.
The main Markt
One of the six towers that remain
Colorful timbered houses
Even on a rainy day it’s pretty
The surrounding mills on the Tauber river
Most of the ramparts can be walked. Miles of them. Amazing
The “Night Watchman” tour was awesome
The clock has a figure of the mayor chugging a 3 liter beer to save the town
Some awesome well fed kitties
This one had a catwalk to get down the building
Gigantic forehead dolls in one of the Christmas stores. If anyone knows the story please comment
