Hiking

The road leads over the Eselsbrücke in the direction of Schrozberg. A sculpture was erected on the donkey bridge to commemorate the “deaf donkeys”. For centuries, these donkeys carried the heavy sacks of flour from the Tauber mills up steep paths to the town of Rothenburg o.d.Tbr. There are 13 mills here over a distance of just a few kilometers.

The monument on the donkey bridge over the Tauber in Rothenburg, the sculpture is reminiscent of the donkeys that transported the flour and grain from the Tauber mills up and down the steep slopes for centuries.

The donkey figure gives the Tauber Bridge that certain something. ☺️
