#EuropeanTravel [Germany🇩🇪] Rotenburg, where you feel like you're in a fairy tale🏡 The quaint shapes and colors of the houses make the village look like a fairy tale. The pastel-toned houses are lined up, making for great photos. Another amazing thing is the city's surrounding castle walls. The view from atop the walls offers a different kind of beauty. Moreover, even in the middle of summer, the entire village is filled with a Christmas atmosphere. You can tell that this is a city for Christmas at first glance. The souvenir shop I stumbled upon was like the movie "Home Alone" itself. It's the number one place I want to visit again during the Christmas season.✨ 📍Rotenburg in Germany

When at Marienplatz, you will not miss this new tall hall also known as Rathaus Clocktower. Everyday at 11am, 12pm and 5pm, the clock will perform and re-enacts the history of Munich and catches the attention of everyone. The old town hall is just located next to the new town hall. You may also go up the tower on the viewing platform for a fee and also tour the hall. Be sure to be there early and book a spot for the clock performance as it gets crowded really fast. #germanytravel #magnificent #awesomepic #mytripvlog #munich #history #townhall

St. James (German: St. Jakob) is a Lutheran (originally Catholic) church in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany, which serves as a church on the pilgrimage route to St. James Church in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. It has two towers (south tower: 55.2 m, 57.7 m north tower). The church was built between 1311-1484. Its east chancel was completed in 1322, nave built from 1373-1436, and west choir, which bridges the street, from 1453-1471. The church was consecrated in 1485 by the Bishop of Würzburg. In 1525 the peasant leader Florian Geyer read aloud the articles of the revolting peasants from its west chancel. We have the chance to visit to Rothenburg during the winter time in December. We pass by this church and decided to go in. Beautiful church and is one of the oldest church. The most important of Jakobskirche features is the main altar. The Altar of the Twelve Apostles is one of the most important high altars in Germany. The central altarpiece shows Christ on the cross surrounded by four angels. Below from left to right are Mary, James (patron saint of Jakobskirche), Elizabeth, John, Leonard and Anthony. #tripblazers #awesomepic

Market Square, fairy tale town showcases the history of the window in the market square in Rothenburg, the main building that can be seen is the town hall and the city council pub. If you come to the head, the most unfortunate thing is that every day from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, from 8:00 to 10:00 every hour, the small window will open the story of "massive drinkers save the city". Although these are just legends, if you come to Rothenburg, you will probably be like us, and really believe that these stories have happened. The square is surrounded by the cold winds from all sides, and it is shivering in the center. Although we did not meet the market in Rothenburg in the market square, we listened to the sound of nature from Rothenburg. On the same day, the orchestra playing in the square saw the cold wind as nothing, and many people were soaked in their own performances with their thin faces, and this attitude towards art was awe-inspiring. At night, the parade around the city is the tradition of Rothenburg since the Middle Ages and one of the most anticipated events in the market square. Now in a certain period of time, starting at 8 o'clock every night, the husband wears a black robe, holds a long axe, carries a candle, and cruises on a certain route. Visitors can travel. The medieval feeling of Rothenburg is reflected in the tradition of the still-keeping night watchman. Just now there are more tourists, the patrol will bring some performances, and the night watcher will use his swaying drama to spit out his professional and professional tools, and then take you all the way along the Municipal Plaza to travel through the towns main attractions, all the way. It tells the story of the town from the Middle Ages, during the Seven Years' War, and the revival of World War II, which was almost flattened and eventually funded by people around the world. After listening, I can have a deeper understanding of the historical background of the city, and I can feel the beauty of the present. [tips] There is a suggestion to watch the night watchers. There are a lot of people watching the patrols. It is felt that the tourists who did not see them during the day gathered at night. The night watchman just appeared and chilled with everyone, and indicated that he could take a photo with him. But it is only limited to a few people around him. He can't take photos with everyone indefinitely and delay the patrol time. Time: Mid-March--January 5th, at 8pm, is an English-speaking guide. At 9:30, it is a German guide.

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.

Nestled in the heart of Germany’s Bavaria region, Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world. With its half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and towering city walls, this charming town looks like something straight out of a storybook or a medieval painting. Founded in the 10th century, Rothenburg flourished as a trade hub during the Middle Ages. However, after the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648) and economic decline, the town was largely untouched by modernization, preserving its historic charm. Walking through Rothenburg feels like stepping back in time, with Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque-style buildings lining the narrow streets. One of the most famous spots in Rothenburg is the Plönlein, a picturesque street corner featuring a leaning half-timbered house, a stone tower, and two diverging cobbled roads—one of the most photographed scenes in Germany.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a beautiful town located on Germany's Romantic Road. The old town is surrounded by city walls with gates all around. Walking through the old city gates feels like stepping back in time. Rothenburg ob der Tauber was established on a plateau along the Tauber River around the 12th century. The town's name means 'Red Fortress on the Tauber River.' It flourished as an independent state with its own military and judicial powers. The town maintained its independence from other kingdoms until the 19th century, when it became a small state in Central Europe and joined Bavaria in 1802. A must-see photo spot is Plönlein, a picturesque check-in point located near the southern city gate, where the Siebersturm tower stands across the road. The area is surrounded by half-timbered houses with gabled roofs along two converging streets. Additionally, at Marktplatz in the evening, there is a Night Watchman tour. In the past, a night watchman would patrol and guard the city gates, blowing a horn made from an animal's horn to alert the townspeople of any unusual events (and they demonstrate this during the tour). The Night Watchman guides the tour through the town, explaining the history of each spot. If you're interested, you can join the Night Watchman tour for 10 Euros per person, payable at the end of the tour.

Germany is known for its charming fairy-tale towns, each offering its own unique beauty. Among these, Rothenburg ob der Tauber stands out as a "Treasure of the Middle Ages" or the "Pearl of the Middle Ages." This picturesque town, perfectly preserved in its medieval charm, draws millions of visitors every year due to its rich history and cultural significance. Rothenburg is located at the intersection of two famous tourist routes, the "Romantic Road" and the "Castle Road." Its most iconic landmark is Plönlein (meaning "Little Square by the Fountain"), often featured on the cover of travel guides like Lonely Planet and famously depicted in Disney’s Pinocchio as an inspiration for the medieval European setting. As you stroll along Rothenburg’s narrow, cobblestone streets, you’ll find the Town Hall and its Market Square at the heart of the town. For a panoramic view of Rothenburg, visitors can climb the 220 steps to the top of the Town Hall Tower, offering breathtaking sights of the Tauber River Valley and the surrounding Franken Heights. How to Get to Rothenburg: From Frankfurt: 180 km by car (approx. 2 hours), or 3 hours by train. From Munich: 200 km by car (approx. 2.5 hours), or 3 hours by train.

#myhiddengems Often overlooked in favor of larger cities, Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a pristine example of a medieval town, complete with preserved walls, towers, and charming half-timbered houses. Strolling through its streets feels like traveling back to the Middle Ages—a true hidden gem of Bavarian history.

Love traveling, recording travel experiences. Recently busy with trivial matters, rarely have leisure time to doodle, and have been silent for a while. I like that the readers in the Ctrip community are strangers, and everyone's likes are a recognition of the work. Travel records are not pushed among acquaintances, the reading volume meets expectations, and the number of likes and collections is good, but the number of followers is a bit low. I need to work harder for everyone's recognition and continue! Rothenburg is almost never absent from the list of the 50 or 100 most beautiful ancient towns in the world. There are two Rothenburgs in Germany, one in the north of Germany, east of Bremen, on the Wümme River, an industrial and logistics hub, spelled Rotenburg Wümme. The other well-known beautiful town of Rothenburg is located in Bavaria, an important attraction on the Romantic Road, west of Nuremberg, on the highlands of the Tauber River, hence called Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Spring in Europe is very beautiful. My itinerary is relatively long, and I was worried about aesthetic fatigue, so I deliberately put what I thought were the highlights in the latter part of the trip when making the strategy. Actually, it was a misjudgment. European cities and towns are all very beautiful and have their own unique charm. The preserved and restored buildings silently tell their own historical stories. When I arrived in Rothenburg, it was cloudy, with occasional rays of sunshine breaking through the clouds, and sometimes a few drops of rain would fall. This medieval town of Rothenburg was not much damaged during World War II, nor was it artificially demolished and rebuilt to destroy the old town. The narrow roads paved with old cobblestones lead people to every corner of the town. The old city walls have been repaired and can still be walked around, but they are narrow and many sections of the walls are not high enough for visitors to walk upright. On a section of the western wall, you can see the Tauber River Gorge. Whether you have ample time or not, you must walk a section of the city wall to experience the feeling of defending against foreign enemies in the Middle Ages. The names and nationalities of donors who have contributed to the restoration of this ancient building over the years are engraved on the city wall, which in itself is a rare sight. The South Gate Tower is probably the landmark building of the town and a famous attraction in Germany and even Europe. The cover photo of "Lonely Planet Series - Germany" is selected from this scene. The hotel I booked is in an old house near the South Gate, "Hotel and Brewery Bell." Perhaps a few hundred years ago, this house was a brewery. From the window of my room, I could see the South Gate and the bustling tourists below. It only returned to tranquility after the day-trippers left at dusk. One can imagine that a few hundred years ago, this must have been a peaceful and harmonious ancient town. If you don't go to the gorge, you can walk around the ancient town in half a day. The small town is not big, but it has many stories. There are many old buildings and museums worth visiting, recording and telling the stories of the ancient town. St. Jacob's Church, built starting in the 14th century and completed in the 15th century, is most famous not for its history but for the Holy Blood Altar, which is said to contain three drops of Jesus' blood in a crystal reliquary. It is said to be the only church in Bavaria that charges an entrance fee. Of course, historical legends cannot be verified, but if you believe, it is true. The Town Hall Square is located in the central area of the ancient town, where the tourist center is located, and is a must-visit spot for tourists. Tourists gather in the square, waiting for the clock on the tourist bureau building to strike the hour. The windows on both sides of the clock will open, and the dolls inside will perform a drinking scene. This is to commemorate the war between Catholics and Protestants in 1631. The Catholic army besieged the city and was ready to attack. The general set a condition that if someone in the city could drink 3 liters of wine in one go, he would spare everyone in the city. The mayor, to save the ancient town and its people, accepted the challenge and successfully drank the wine. Thus, the ancient town and its people were saved. The true historical record is that the mayor and councilors were executed after the city was breached. But kind-hearted people prefer to believe the legend of "drinking to save the city." In the city, there are the "Medieval Crime Museum," "German Christmas Museum," "Imperial City Museum," "Doll and Toy Museum," and the "Old Rothenburg Craftsmen's House," all of which require tickets. You can choose to visit according to your interests and time. Of course, you can see many city gates, walls, sculptures, totems, fountains, and many ancient buildings along the cobblestone roads throughout the ancient town. Early morning and evening are probably the most beautiful times in the ancient town. At these times, the day-trippers have not yet arrived or have already left. Don't miss it. It is recommended to stay one night in or around the ancient town. There are many parking lots around the ancient town, some of which are free. Cloudy days, the pictures are not outstanding, so I chose a few to make up the numbers. Honestly, Rothenburg was the most anticipated spot on my itinerary, and due to the weather, it was also the most disappointing. I hope to have the opportunity to visit Rothenburg again. Don't miss it. If you have the chance to visit Bavaria, be sure to include Rothenburg ob der Tauber in your plan. It will not disappoint you.
