My favorite city in Germany's Romantic Route

Rothenburg ob de Tauber, Germany

One of our most memorable trips in Germany was the romantic road tour. I think we started in Wurzburg and ended in Munich. The most picturesque among the places along the route was Rothernburg ob de Tauber thats why we chose to stay here overnight.

In English, the city's name is translated as Red castle on the Tauber and its renowned as the finest example of an authentic medieval town in all of Germany.

The old Town Square is adorned with fountains and flowers, and watchtowers built to keep a lookout for marauding enemies punctuate formidable walls. Half-timbered houses lean against one another along narrow cobbled lanes.

Even the old McDonalds eatery was built with medieval decors. The photo shows me with a german actor who was right outside the play house.

One day I would like to spend christmas in this city they also call 'christmas town'.
