We started our (shortened) mill tour again at the Galgentor in the direction of the market square/town hall and Plönlein in the direction of the Spitalhof/youth hostel through the beautiful old town with its many inn signs worth seeing. There we walked outside the wall in the direction of the Spitalbastei, crossed the street and walked along the footpath first …

Fantastic tour from Rothenburg to the Mühlenweg along the Schandtauber and the Tauber. Original nature - many old mills in the Taubertal - impressive wild swimming pool - countless great impressions on a beautiful autumn day with brightly colored leaves - "Indian Summer"

A beautiful circular hike that starts in Rothenburg, continues over the town wall and, as highlights in the Tauber Valley, not only leads past 15 mills but also offers further highlights such as the double bridge and the Topplerschlößchen. You'd have to search for a long time for a more varied and beautiful circular hike😎

A tour through and then around Rothenburg o.d.T...
Started from P4 and then off into the countryside, the route follows the local W2 signposting. Unfortunately, only short sections are entertaining to walk and many stretches are on roads. You shouldn't expect too much from the old mills, many have now been converted into residential buildings...
