We Wanna Go around the world! In vlog #16, We travel to the city of Rothenburg (ob der Tauber). This medieval city in Germany still stands, complete with a wall to protect the treasures within. Today, Rothenburg is a pleasant tourist attraction that let's you walk on its stone streets and feel what it may have been like to live in the era. First, we experience the instruments of punishment in the Medieval Crime and Justice Museum (Mittelalterliches Kriminalmuseum), also known as the Torture Museum. Then, we contrast our experience by making a brief stop at the world famous Christmas shop (Käthe Wohlfahrt).

Germany's Romantic Rhine and Rothenburg
© 2002 Rick Steves' Europe | Cruising the Rhine River, we dodge riverboat traffic and the legendary Lorelei. After climbing castles and descending into dungeons, we relax with Rhine wine. We tour Burg Eltz — a lived-in castle where the noble lady still puts out fresh flowers. Then we enter the walled town of Rothenburg for Germany's best wood carving, a vivid dose of medieval punishment, and a tour with the night watchman of the town's lamp-lit ramparts.
CHRISTMAS IN SUMMER!? - Germany
We spend the morning at Rothenburg ob der Tauber where we visited the famous Christmas Museum! After Rothenburg we moved on to 2 other medieval towns Dinkelsbühl and Nördlingen.

One day in Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Feel the Middle Ages in the medieval Old Town of Rothenburg in Germany
Rothenburg ob der Tauber - that beautiful little town on the Romantic Road is for tourists the epitome of German cities. The Altstadt (Old Town) is a patchwork of winding cobbled lanes lined with picturesque half timbered houses.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber, City Wall
City Wall of Rothenburg ob der Tauber
Massive towers like Röderturm and the intact city walls form a ring around the Old Town and you can walk on top of it to get great views over the city and the Tauber valley.
No other town in Germany brings you closer to the spirit of the Middle Ages - especially the medieval festivals like the so called Master's draught let you truly get in touch with its moving history. If you like to get some impressions of this festival Master's draught, start the slideshow on the right side.
What makes Rothenburg ob der Tauber even more exciting is its reputation as town of eternal Christmas. All year round lots of shops offer beautiful handcrafted Christmas gifts and souveniers. In December the town gets realy crowded, because nobody wants to miss the famous Christmas Market, one of the most romantic ones in Germany.

Plönlein Rothenburg Germany
One of the most taken pictures of Rothenburg Germany is the Plönlein fork, a famous landmark.
Pass the Plönlein, that scenic fork in the road is the landmark of the town. Head for the market place and climb the platform of the nice Town Hall to get impressive views. Then you shouldn't miss the idyllic Burggarten (Rothenburg castle garden).
A major pilgrimage site is the gothic church St.Jacob. Its main attraction is the Heilige Blut Altar (Holy Blood Altar) carved by Tilman Riemenschneider, said to contain a drop of Christ's blood.

They celebrate the event from 1631, when the city council rescued the town by taking the challenge to empty 3 1/4 liter of wine in one gulp!

Rothenburg, Germany - An Authentic Medieval Town
An authentic medieval townscape in the Tauber Valley, Rothenburg has cobbled streets, ancient walls and half timbered houses. Although the town itself is like a museum, visitors can tour historical and agricultural museums as well as the iconic Dolls & Toys Museum. The centrally located Market Square is busy with shops, and Gothic wonders include stunning St. Jacobs Church.
Camping in Rothenburg, Germany
The most affordable accommodation in the area of the fairy tale town of Rothenburg is camping. Follow the camping signs to the site which is a good, healthy (but do-able) walk from town. Visitors love the view as well as the washing, dining and recycling the facilities.
