The newly asphalted and partly prepared with fine gravel cycle path 🚵🏽♀️ between Dombühl via Diebach to Rothenburg ob der Tauber 🏰 follows the old railway connection 🚂 from Dombühl to Rothenburg. The tracks 🛤️ are no longer there, but the old, restored station building of Bockenfeld still exists. In other places, it is still recognizable that you are traveling on the former railway lines.

There are many places from which you have a great view of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, but I find the view of the medieval town, with its unique silhouette and towers, most beautiful from the Tauber Valley or from Engelsburg Castle.
