Tips
As early as the 16th century, Rothenburg was often called the "Franconian Jerusalem" because of its cityscape—and rightly so, as the cityscape is dominated by numerous towers. The old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber is surrounded by a city wall. Six gates and several pedestrian doors lead through this wall into (or out of) the old town.
