The Romantic Road – a fairytale route through Dinkelsbühl and Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
The Romantic Road is one of Germany’s most famous scenic routes – a picturesque path stretching about 460 kilometres from Würzburg to Füssen through charming towns, medieval villages and dreamlike landscapes. The towns of Dinkelsbühl and Rothenburg ob der Tauber are particularly enchanting, apparently lifted straight out of a picture book.
Dinkelsbühl’s nearly intact medieval town walls, colourful half-timbered houses and historic town centre conjure up a living picture from centuries past. Every July, the traditional Kinderzeche festival brings the town’s history to life.
Just 50 kilometres away, Rothenburg ob der Tauber is probably the most famous highlight along the Romantic Road. Its cobblestone streets, timber-framed buildings and famous town wall make Rothenburg a special symbol of the romantic Middle Ages in Germany. Its famous attractions – including the Plönlein, the Medieval Crime Museum and its Christmas market – attract visitors from all over the world.
Arrive in the Teutonic town of Bad Mergentheim. Check into your selected hotel and enjoy leisure time before dinner.
Nestling in the lovely Tauber Valley, the town delights visitors with its rich history, picturesque old town and impressive architecture. Begin with a guided stroll through the old town, where stories of the Teutonic Order come alive. Be fascinated by the half-timbered houses, the Renaissance town hall and the impressive palace residence. In the afternoon, explore the extensive spa gardens.
Enjoy a scenic journey through the Tauber Valley along the Romantic Road to Dinkelsbühl, with wonderful views of rolling hills, vineyards and idyllic villages. Embark on a guided city tour in the nearly intact medieval old town, followed by free time to discover the local shops. Experience the delights of Franconian cuisine in one of the cozy inns, browse in the small shops or relax over a coffee at the wine market.
Experience the quintessential image of romantic Germany along the Tauber Valley to Rothenburg ob der Tauber. In Rothenburg, embark on an expert guided tour through the winding alleyways, past the historic town gates, the fully preserved town wall, the imposing town hall and the Church of St. James with its famous Holy Blood Altarpiece carved by Tilman Riemenschneider. Be fascinated by the unique flair of this medieval pearl! Spend the afternoon exploring at your own pace – enjoy a Franconian lunch, browse the charming boutiques or visit the renowned Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas Village and Medieval Crime Museum. Conclude the day with a gourmet dinner and curated wine selection at the hotel.
