Rothenburg is a small city in the county of Bavaria. It is a very old and medieval city and has lots of architecture to look at and things to do. It was a short drive of about 2 hours for us since we are located in the same county.

After we parked we have entered the city through the white tower. A huge light colored tower big a big arch underneath to walk through. The city has six big towers and several gates you can enter. All of the city is surrouned by a big city wall which was was used for protection in the early days. Now you can take a walk on it around the whole city which takes about 2 hours and you can buy a piece of the wall to show your support for renovations and restaurations. 

When you have entered the city through one of the gates there are two things you immediately recognize – the plants / flowers and half-timbered houses. Every house has beautiful flowers planted in front or ivy climbing up the house. This looks very pretty and maintained and is a real eyecatcher.

 

What to do in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

So now this is what we did in the exact order…

 

– Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas Museum and Shop

If you love Christmas this is THE store for you. It is open the whole year and plays Christmas music all day long. They sell the prettiest special ornaments but also souvenirs from the city of Rothenburg. No matter the color or theme for your tree. You will find it here. The store has several huge decorated trees and little decorated houses. But I might add, the ornaments are quite pricey. The entrance is free though.

 

– Dungeons under City Hall

On the back of the city hall is a small passage and you can enter here and get into the tiniest museum you´ve might ever seen. It is an exhibition about the story of the city and how it has evolved through the years and at the end of it you can enter the staircase to get down to the city hall dungeons. These cells have been used to keep prisoners until they have been executed. There didn´t exist long term fines back then. 

There is also a tower on the city hall you can go up and have a look at the city from above but for some reason it was closed this day. I would definitely do this if you are there and it is open to go up.

 

– Hearty Lunch at Restaurant „Goldenes Lamm“

 

 

– Wandered down the main shopping street 

You can find lots of restaurants, coffee shops and stores here. Also the criminal museum is down this street and many more beautiful half-timbered houses.

 

– Photo stop at the Plönlein – the most famous house in Rothenburg

This was such a cute stop. You can only take a look at it from outside and stop for a quick picture but it is the cutest little house right in the middle of the street I ever did see. I was waiting for some fairy tale creatures to come out every second but there lives a very normal person. 

 

– Visited the Medival Crime Museum

This was very interesting and took a lot of time to get through. You can learn about everything from the witch trials to any kind of torture instrument you could possibly find and also fines they have used a few hundred years ago. You can get your tickets here

 

– Had a coffee and „Schneeballen“ at the Zuckerbäckerei

This was a very delicious treat we got for ourselves in the afternoon. The „Schneeballen“ is the well known treat of the city. It is made from shortcrust pastry, filled with nougat or jam and glazed with chocolate. Mine was strawberry and exceptional good but it is big and hard to find a place for that first bite.

 

– Took a stroll on the city wall back to our parking spot

This was our last stop before we headed back home. You can enter the city wall on several spots through a long and tight staircase and go around all of the city. The whole walk takes about 2,5 hours but you don´t have to do the full round.

Summer has been good to us so far. We had great temperatures to enjoy the Summer weather and be outside mostly without huge heat. I love that the days are so long and we can use the outdoors as our extended home. Summer brings so much more quality of life with it. 

Anyways I wanted to share this adorable sale find with you guys. I have gotten this dress the other week and it is the perfect Summer as well as transition dress. You could literally wear it from Spring to Winter. A denim or leather jacket on chill days or mornings and sneakers, cowboy boots or sandals whatever the ocassion and the temperature.

The dress itself has so many colors you´ll definitely find something to wear with it. You can go plain with white or gold or all in with several colorful accessoires. Have fun with fashion and play around a little until you love it.
