Romance and Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber..

A fairy tale setting............is how I remember my trip to the picturesque town of Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber. A lovely little town in Bavaria on the river Tauber, this is a must see on Germany's Romantische Straße (Romantic Road ). The fabled "Romantic road" winds through forgotten sections of countryside, walled towns, picturesque villages and imposing castles. Rothenburg is definitely one of the prettiest medieval towns and a personal favorite.

Rothenburg, boasts of Gothic and Baroque architecture and an almost fully intact old city wall. Tall towers dot both the inner and outer walls of this city decorated with clocks and beautiful archways. This lovely town with its red roofs and 13th-century city walls seems untouched by the passage of time. I am a dreamer at heart, and the romance and history of Rothenburg is simply unforgettable.......
