Rothenburg ob der Tauber (o.d.T) is the dream town for all romantics. This old Imperial Free City, its walled fortifications towering over the Tauber Valley, is the epitome of urban and rural harmony.

There is hardly another town that casts as powerful a spell over its visitors as Rothenburg ob der Tauber. To take a walk through this small place with its timeless feel is to come face to face with vanished centuries. History in Rothenburg always seems to be something you can really experience, and sometimes it has an amusing twist. Its proud Town Hall, the soaring towers and stout walls, the churches and patrician houses all bear witness to this. Thanks to the painters and poets of the Romantic age, Rothenburg becomes a symbol of the Middle Ages in Germany.
