Rothenburg ob der Tauber — City Wall and Walkway

Highlight • Historical Site

The city wall in Rothenburg leads around the whole city. The route from the Klingentor to the Spitaltor is completely accessible. On the side facing the valley, it is only provided with a battlement between Stöberleinsturm and Kohlturm along the hospital quarter, the so-called Kappenzipfel.

View of Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

From this rest area, next to which you can park for free, you have a fantastic view of Rotenburg. You can also start great hikes from here.

Tauber River

Highlight • River

The Tauber is a river in southern Germany on both sides of the border between Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. It rises at the west foot of the Frankenhöhe, flows in a northwesterly direction for about 130 km through the Franconia region and flows into the Main from left and southeast in Wertheim.

Origin story
The valley line of the Tauber traces an earlier tributary of the Urdonau, which flowed to the southeast against the current flow direction. Parts of today's Mainvierecks also belonged to him. Before the Pleistocene, the Taubertal was wider and flatter. Today's narrow valley was only formed during the cold periods in connection with extensive tectonic elevations. The Taubertal was presumably also included in the valley burial phases of the Main. Even the latest shaping processes in the Taubertal can be read. For example, the St. Achatius chapel in Grünsfeldhausen is now more than three meters below the level of the valley, which can be attributed to the deposition of meadow clay, which increased the valley floor by at least nine meters over the course of several centuries
