Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Bavaria (1) – The Wall (Day Four)
Located 180 kms southeast of Frankfurt, the village of Rothenburg is Germany’s best-preserved walled town. When I heard about this place, I knew we had to make a day-trip to this medieval community to see the history.
My first post of Rothenburg is the short 3km wall walk which took us a couple of hours due to the many stops along the way for the views.
Galgentor entrance on the northeast corner
A small outside theatre
Parts of the wall have a roof providing protection from the sun and rain
Vines add a nice green touch
…and some parts of the wall have thick foliage with added colour
A view of the wall from the outside
Narrow single-file pedway with wooden railings to prevent you from falling over keeps you on your toes
Some sections of the wall is covered on both sides
how many feet have walked that path …
