Rothenburg ob de Tauber
A link to the city's webpage in English. http://www.rothenburg.de/index.php?get=121
After Brandon's game in Ansbach we drove to nearby Rothenburg. I first heard of this city from Rick Steves (the travel writer - tourist guy) (link- www.ricksteves.com). I had borrowed one of his videos from the library when we were still in the states and it had this town in it. We were delighted to see that it is only about an hour and a half from our place!
Rothenburg is a walled city. Below are some photos we took as we walked inside the city. We didn't have much time on this day and plan to go back. There is a trail that runs along the outside of the wall that we would like to walk. The town is packed with Christmas stores and other tourist type shops. We have read that they have spectacular Christmas time fests and that they have a Volksmarch every February.
We went to dinner just outside the wall at a gasthaus (restaurant?). We attemted to order in German and the waitress asked us if we wanted a menu in English which we readily accepted. Jake had the schnitzel, I had crispy roasted pork, Ann-Marie had bratwurst with fries and Brandon had some sort of stuffed chicken. We each had a cola and the total came to about 55 Euro (including tip), in case you are wondering. We sat outside in the outdoor section. The food was good and soon after we sat the place filled up so we got there just in time.
