A very nice bike path

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

Historical Vaults – The Museum Above Rothenburg's Dungeon Deep beneath the Gothic town hall wing lie the former dungeons of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, where the legendary mayor Heinrich Toppler (c. 1340–1408) was once imprisoned. These underground cells can still be visited via the Historical Vaults, operated by the Historical Festival "The Master Draught" association. With a select collection of original weapons, flags, and uniforms, the Historical Vaults transport visitors back to the time of the Thirty Years' War. Scenes of everyday life from this period are recreated. Text / Source: Rothenburg Tourism Service, Marktplatz 2, Rothenburg ob der Tauber https://www.rothenburg.de/entdecken/top-10/historiengewoelbe

St. George's Fountain (also known as Herterich's Fountain) Built in 1446, the market square fountain holds 100,000 liters of water. For over 400 years, an ornate column has adorned the fountain, crowned by the figure of St. George and his dragon. Don't be surprised: In winter, it's protected from the cold by a glass facade. Fun fact: A replica of the fountain figure can be found in the German Pavilion at Walt Disney World in Orlando. Definitely worth a visit: You'll get a fantastic photo opportunity here when the half-timbered houses of the market square are reflected in the fountain water.

The Tauber is an idyllic, small river that rises near Weikersholz and flows into the Main near Wertheim after about 130 km. She accompanies the cyclists on almost the entire “Lovely Taubertal” cycle path, between Rothenburgo.d.Tbr. and Wertheim and invites you to rest in many beautiful places.

You should walk the circular route along the battlements once when you are in Rothenburg. It is very rare to find such a well-preserved city wall that is still accessible.

Rothenburg's town hall with its magnificent Renaissance façade consists of two parts: the Gothic double building with the town hall tower dates from between 1250 and 1400. It was recorded by the painter Friedrich Herlin on his panels on the main altar of St. James' Church. The local architect Leonhard Weidmann designed and built what is probably the most impressive building of this style era north of the Alps between 1572 and 1578. While the eastern part fell victim to a fire in 1501, the western part with the slender bell tower has survived to this day. The arcades were added in 1681, and their round arches are decorated with the coats of arms of the seven electors. The building sections are connected by the atrium. The old Rothenburg measurements can be seen on the left and right of the portal. Since in the Middle Ages every state, no matter how small, had its own measurements, these were publicly announced on the market square. On the left you can see the "rod", "yardstick" and "shoe", on the right the "thicket". The town hall tower, which has no foundation of its own but is only placed on the gable, is architecturally significant. The tower's viewing platform can be reached via the main entrance.
