Rothenburg ob der Tauber

The town presents intact defensive walls stretching four kilometers, with 46 towers and multiple gates surrounding narrow streets lined with red-roofed houses.

During the Thirty Years' War in 1631, Mayor Georg Nusch saved the town by accepting a challenge to drink 3.25 liters of wine in one sitting.

The medieval market square contains the Town Hall building, which combines Gothic architecture with Renaissance elements through its 13th and 16th-century construction phases.

The defensive wall pathway allows visitors to circle the entire town at elevation, offering different perspectives of the medieval architecture and Tauber Valley.

The Plönlein intersection features a yellow building between two streets at different levels, with the Siebers Tower and Kobolzeller Gate framing the view.
