Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Today we visited Red Castle on the river Tauber, the translation of the village name. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a medieval town in Bavaria. It has been restored and maintained beautifully and is a town of about 12,000 people who live both inside and outside the old wall. Like most places in Germany it was partly destroyed in WWII, about 40% was destroyed and then restored. We walked the 2 miles around the old wall sometimes on it and other times beside it. The town was beautiful. We had a delicious, very German lunch and brought some Schneeballen Which were balls of cookie dough with toppings. They were nice but dryer than we expected.Læs mere
