| This is the best of the best...when it comes to cute medieval towns. We visited Rothenburg during a day trip in 1990 and planned to return. We did so with our children in 2002...it is a wonderful town to explore with children. The crowds are crazy during the day. Plan on staying here at least two nights to enjoy the early morning peacefulness and the evening fun ...especially the Night Watchman's Tour. |
| Things to Do -- Places to See |
| Walk the Ramparts Pretend you are defending the town |
| Punishment Museum Learn about thumbscrews, chasity belts, spiked chairs, the rack...all sorts of instruments of punishment and torture. Warning...our little girl, then age 6 turned pale, almost fainted, then had a panic attack.... Boy, Did we feel like bad parents. |
| Visit the Bakeries and Go Shopping. Don't forget to visit Kathe Wohlfahrt's Christmas Shop We bought the kids some Christmas Ornaments. |
| One of the more interesting tours that we have taken...Don't miss the Night Watchman's Tour ...Daily at 8:00pm |
| Visit St. Jakob's Church and see the 14th Century altar carving |
| Early in the morning, when the mist was still hugging the ground, we went for a walk in the old castle gardens. No one else was around...just our family in the most incredible settings. --Mom |
