      An ingenious mix of castles, towers and trails.

        Impressive walk along the city wall almost around Rothenburg from gate to gate. You will be rewarded with wonderful impressions of the city, city life, the backyards and gardens of the residents. The sponsors of the reconstruction, represented from all over the world, are immortalized along the way. From the Galgentor you can walk in a few minutes to the main square at the town hall and stroll past many cafés, restaurants and small shops.
