Our next stop as Rothenburg ob der Tauber.\u00a0 It was a couple of hours by train from Munich, and not far out of our way as we headed to the Rhine River Valley.<\/p>\n

This place was so cool!\u00a0 It’s in the heart of the German “Romantic Road” which includes lots of medieval castles and history.\u00a0 Rothenburg is a very well preserved classic medieval old town, all secured within the city wall and just a few guarded gates to enter the city.\u00a0 The castle was built in 1070 a.d., and then the town grew from there.\u00a0 The city streets were exactly what you picture when you think of old Germany.<\/p>\n

Today there are lots of little shops, restaurants, and bed and breakfasts, but they’re all in original buildings.\u00a0 We stayed at a small family owned hotel that was built in the 1400s and had just a couple of rooms.\u00a0 One of the highlights was the\u00a0town wall that had a walkway that’s open to the public and was a neat way to see the city.\u00a0 You are walking 3 stories above the town, looking out at the city on one side and through small slits in the stone used to shoot arrows at attackers on the other.<\/p>\n
