So much to see in the romantic village of Rothenburg. Wandering the streets of the medieval fort gives a true feeling of the ages past.

While in the market square notice the narrow alleyway heading off to streets above. Pick the small cafe to the left of the alleyway and step inside. Choose your treat and go upstairs to look over the square and enjoy watching the other tourists below.

Relaxing

Cherry/Chocolate cake

A cup of coffee and a whipped cream (real cream), cherry and chocolate cake is relaxing after a half day of hiking through the hills and valleys.

Head to the west to the gardens. Former site of the Imperial castle built in 1142 and destroyed by an earthquake in 1356.

Market Square (Rathaus on the left at the top of the stairs)

The square becomes the focal point for your adventures as you travel throughout the city. The square is in the center of town and the tourist center is in the same building as their famous clock. The second story right hand window houses a camera taking internet pictures. www.rothenburg.de

 

No it isn't another WFC office building being built behind that green wrapper. It is the remodeling of the Rathaus and the museum.
