Rothenburg
Highly recommended
Overlooking the winding course of the River Tauber, the town of Rothenburg is surrounded by imposing ramparts. Particularly well preserved, it contains an impressive number of medieval buildings on a spectacular cliff-edge site. A victim of its own success, it now receives floods of visitors from around the world. As a result, summer evenings and the low season are the best times to enjoy the charms of its tall, slim gabled houses, narrow streets and half-timbered buildings and the medieval atmosphere they create.
