The old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber offers countless photo opportunities. Even if you walk through the city carefully as a local, you will always find places that you have not consciously noticed for a long time.

Rothenburg o.d.Tbr. was bombed on March 31, 1945 by 16 American planes that were unable to reach their original target due to fog. 39 people were killed and the part of the town east of the market square was almost completely destroyed. In the years after the war, the town was rebuilt almost true to its original state, so that we can experience this unique, medieval town as it appears to us today.

A very beautiful old town that you should explore at your leisure. Cycling on the cobblestones is not much fun, not least because there are so many tourists walking around. I found the heavy car traffic in the old town annoying. There are also quieter restaurants in the side streets.
