    The Kobolzeller Tor is a powerful fortification that allowed access to the city from the southwest. The Kobolzeller Tor was built in the middle of the 14th century. The gate was named after the small town of Kobolzell, which was located below the gate in the Taubertal. The defense system consists of the gate tower, a rectangular forecourt with a battlement and a large foregate with a customs house. Many cyclists who come to Rothenburg from the valley can imagine how difficult it used to be for enemies to attack the city at this point.

      If you drive past Rothenburg through the Tauber Valley, the entrance through the Kobolzeller Tor is the smartest way to enter the city. It's shorter, but you have to push a little. And you come out at the wonderful Hotel Glocke and the "Ploenlein".

        Beautiful city gate to Rothenburg, steep ascent by bike to get there.
