Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Our last stop on Germany's Romantische Strasse was Europe's most well-preserved medeival town Rothenburg ob der Tauber (German: Red Town on the Tauber). The Tauber River runs alongside Rothenburg, which is surrounded by thick stone walls and guarded by entrance towers. Inside the walls of this town is a complex of narrow cobblestone streets - sometimes the walls of buildings were so close you could touch both sides at the same time! The architecture was amazingly old, yet inside this town there was a fully-functioning grocery market and lots of souvenir shops (of course!). It was here in Rothenburg where we purchased a traditional German dress for Adylae.
