    Hiking

    In times of war or when the water level was low, the grain mills in the Taubertal Rothenburg could not supply enough. The massive Rossmühle was built in 1516 to grind all of the city's grain in an emergency. Today the youth hostel is located in the middle of Rothenburg's old town. One of the most beautiful viewpoints is right next to the Rossmühle when passing through the Kalkturm.

    The Rossmühle was a grain mill within the city wall so that it would not be dependent on the Taubermühen during military conflicts. She was powered by 16 horses. Today the Rossmühle is a youth hostel.

The massive Rossmühle was built in 1516 in order to be able to grind all of the city's grain in an emergency. Today the youth hostel is located here in the middle of Rothenburg's old town.
