The Town Of Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber
Germany is beautiful during the fall as the weather isn't too chilly in winter or too hot in summer. It's a great place to visit especially the small little German town of Rothenburg Ob De Tauber which is popular among the many olden medieval timber houses that you will see in your movies, which is almost identical!
This place is located up north of Munich approximately a 3hours drive which make this a very good roadtrip where you will pass many scenic features along the way, with endless greeneryand also stop by small little towns for a good pie or some German sausage and pommes!

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a German town in northern Bavaria known for its medieval architecture. Half-timbered houses line the cobblestone lanes of its old town. The town walls include many preserved gate houses and towers, plus a covered walkway on top. St. Jakob’s Church houses an intricate, late Gothic altarpiece by woodcarver Tilman Riemenschneider. The medieval Town Hall has a tower with panoramic views. The name "Rothenburg ob der Tauber" is German for "Red castle above the Tauber". This is so because the town is located on a plateau overlooking the Tauber River. As to the name "Rothenburg", some say it comes from the German words rot (red) and burg (burgh, medieval fortified settlement), referring to the red color of the roofs of the houses which overlook the river. The name may also refer to the process of retting ("rotten" in German) flax for linen production. The city was most likely inhabited by Celts before the 1st-century C.E.
In 950, the weir system in today's castle garden was constructed by the Count of Comburg-Rothenburg.
In 1070, the counts of Comburg-Rothenburg, who also owned the village of Gebsattel, built Rothenburg castle on the mountain top high above the River Tauber.
The counts of the Comburg-Rothenburg dynasty died out in 1116. The last count, Count Heinrich, Emperor Heinrich V appointed instead his nephew Konrad von Hohenstaufen as the successor to the Comburg-Rothenburg properties.
In 1142, Konrad von Hohenstaufen, who became Konrad III (1138–52), the self-styled King of the Romans, traded a part of the monastery of Neumünster in Würzburg above the village Detwang and built the Stauffer-Castle Rothenburg on this cheaper land. He held court there and appointed officials called 'reeves' to act as caretakers.

Germany actually has a fairy tale town that is sweeter than chocolate
walked around Germany, the most favorite is Rothenburg, this small town is so beautiful. Rothenburg is the essence of the German medieval town. It has not been destroyed by the war, and it has been repaired in the last 20 years. Its well-preserved old town recreates the medieval style.
1 Rothenburg is a relatively pure tourist city. Beyond the attractions, the city is dominated by souvenir shops, restaurants, cafes and hotels. The Old Town is small and can be reached on foot from all attractions.
If you want to enjoy a quiet town, it is best to stay in the city for one night, so that you can carefully look at this ancient and beautiful town in the early morning and evening when a large number of tourists do not appear.
2 One of the iconic landscapes in the city of Rothenburg, at the southern end of the old town, the stone road is "Y" shaped, with beautiful traditional wooden frame houses on both sides and a small fountain. The
3 clock tower platform on the market square can be climbed up to see the panoramic view of the town. Because it is a medieval building, the stairs are very narrow and there is a steep road.
Tickets: 2 Euros (tickets are bought at the top of the tower)
4Wrzburg to Rothenburg for more than an hour by train, you have to take a special line to get there.

Imperial Castle of Nuremberg Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Views from Nuremberg Castle
#urbanexplorer #nuremberg #germany
If you’re looking for stunning views of Bavaria, it can’t get much better than Nuremberg castle. After a short walk up a small hill, we found ourselves at the battlements of the castle which is one of the most well preserved medieval fortresses in Europe!
My favourite part was making our way up to the high walls to get an amazing view of the town.
Imperial Castle of Nuremberg
Very impressive and excellent castle visit to the Imperial Castle.
It is located at the top of a hill, overlooking the city of Nuremberg. The castle is very well maintained. There do not have any buses directly up so it might not be completely accessible for physically disabled people.
Due to destruction during WWII, most of the interiors are redone as a museum. The anvient weapons and armor displays are nice. Climbing up the tower was fun and offers great views.
Buy the combination tickets to visit the castle, tower and the well. It's definitely worth it.
A "must" if you are in Nuremberg.

Rock legend Sting tours, about Nuremberg, things you didn't know
Date: 2023/12/6
Venue: Arena Nürnberger Versicherung
The septuagenarian rock star Sting continues his tour, and this time he has arrived in Nuremberg, Germany. Nuremberg was one of the ruling centers directly governed by the emperors of the 'Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation', a city filled with art and history. Let's take a look at some of the must-visit spots!
1. Nuremberg Castle
The Kaiserburg is a very iconic medieval building in Nuremberg, also known as Nuremberg Castle. Nearly every emperor of the Roman Empire has stayed here. The castle's buildings are connected by passages, corridors, tunnels, and gardens.
2. Beautiful Fountain
On the octagonal stone basin in Hauptmarkt, stands a 19-meter-tall tower, its golden glow shimmering with the square.
3. Main Market Square
The Main Market Square is the heart of Nuremberg's old town. Here you can see traditional markets that continue to this day, and of course, it's a very lively place during Christmas. There are also many ancient buildings nearby, among which the famous one is the very old Gothic church in the Bavarian region—St. Mary's Church in Nuremberg.

There’s nothing better than the dairy products you can buy in Bavaria, so why not pair it with a view of a historic church! When we went to the market square in Nuremberg, we had no idea we would happen upon a gothic church that dates back to 1352ad! If you visit Frauenkirche at noon, you might be lucky enough to hear the old clock chime.
The Historical City Of Nuremberg
Germany is filled with many historical old medieval buildings and historical landmarks and castles. The city of Nuremberg is one of 2nd largest German city where you be able to see these many well preserved buildings, bridges, and even restaurants made of thick sturdy wood making it a very cosy homely environment to dine in.
While in Nuremburg, do drop by the old town where you will be able to see the nuremburg castle, the Saint Sevald Church and the toy musuem. Of course all these are tourists attractions which require entrance fee which you can buy it at the place itself. If you also realise, the streets are filled with cobblestones, those that you normally see in the movies where horses and carriages gallops across.
Do also remember to visit the Hauptmarkt where this is also a market place located right in the centre of Nuremberg just by the Pegnitz River. Sadly, we went on a Sunday, and didn't have the chance to visit these amazing German Market. Would love to sink my teeth in one of those German sausages and fried pommes.

Nuremberg's #Main Market Square # is not only the Christmas party, but also the summer is also as gorgeous as Christmas, highlighting its position in the Christmas market industry.
Going here, you can basically go shopping for an hour and browse the market. There are so many things you can buy in the market. There are some German crafts and Christmas goods, including many crafts in it. A lot of surprises, if you feel that there are obstacles in communication, it doesn't matter. The Germans are very kind and very patient, and they have the same calculator as our nationals.
In addition, there is an unlimited amount of gourmet beer orgy in the market. Basically, the stalls of the carts are neatly arranged, so they are very orderly and very enthusiastic. Feeling that there are language troubles, the price will be marked on the small blackboard of each family, and paying directly will be ok.
The market has a beautiful spring symbolizing luck, and the Church of Our Lady can pray. Of course, you can also take the Emperor Fort from the downtown area to overlook the panorama, beautiful! #
Nuremberg is the second largest city in Bavaria, Germany, second only to the capital of Munich, the birthplace of Siemens, the world's leading large enterprise group, and the home of the famous sports brand Adidas.

Christmas to New Year's Day, Germany is also a good place to go to the Christmas market in Rothenburg. This Christmas market is a rare Christmas market in Germany, and the Christmas decorations and art that are sold are unimaginable. Even when I saw this literary shop, people often screamed. The little things in the market are beautiful but very expensive, and a small bell hanging on the Christmas tree costs 25 euros. What's more, the goods inside are actually divided into series. There are ceramic reindeer series, snowman series with silver powder, and puppet series made of iron. Its really hard to choose. Repeatedly entangled and limited budget, I really like it but can't buy it.
Germany, it was really a good weather, unexpectedly sunny, sunny and sunny. The four of us are going to find a shade to start our picnic. When I walked to the city wall, I was shocked by the quaint temperament here. The scenery and temperament of the city wall is different from the towns that have just passed. One is colorful and fresh, and the other is historical and ancient. We found a big tree, laid out the tablecloth, and started our happy picnic. I drank my favorite cola and ate sandwiches and apple cakes made in the morning. This kind of comfortable life makes me want to live here.
Traveling to South Germany, there is a famous tour route, which is the road to fairy tales. Rothenburg on the high hills on the eastern bank of the Tauber River, a tributary to the south of the Rhine, is the jewel of this road. Most towns in Germany have been baptized by war. Rothenburg is no exception. The strong Rothenburg people used a watt and a stone to completely rebuild the town as it was, a nirvana. Through the gates of the castle, every lane here leads to the market square, looking at the window sills filled with flowers, the blue stone road, the slow carriage, and the towers and church spires that you can see at random. People feel that time has reversed and they have stunned their youth.
Schoener Brunnen Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Nuremberg is the second largest city in Bavaria, Germany, but the old town is not large and it is effortless to visit. Nuremberg has a population of 500,000, which is much more lively than the towns of the previous few days. For 3.5 euros, you can climb the tower of the castle and take a panoramic view of Nuremberg. The main market square is the heart of the old town, and the unique Gothic church is full of medieval style. There is also a famous golden octagonal tower on the square. Its name is Nuremberg's Meiquan, which is decorated with 40 statues. In the past few years, Nuremberg has been in the process of maintenance, and now it is finally showing its perfect face. The golden iron ring is embedded in the outer iron railing. It is said that as long as the golden ring is rotated three times, the wish can be realized in the heart. I also silently made my wish.
