The Schleichwächter Bronze Statue

Highlight • Monument

BRONZE FIGURE »THE STEAL GUARD«

The stealth guards were responsible for patrolling the streets of the city at night as quietly as possible. For this purpose, they were armed with old spears. They carried out their duties so »carefully« that they were neither seen nor did the stealth guards notice what was happening in the streets at night. It was primarily old, useless guys whose services were very dubious who volunteered for this service. They were therefore certain to be ridiculed by the population. After a short time, the stealth guards' service was discontinued. (Source: mer-rotenburg.de/infokarte-sehenswertes-kunst-und-kultur/#zwei_knaben)

Half-timbered houses in Rotenburg an der Fulda

Highlight • Historical Site

Rotenburg ob der Tauber, NO this is actually "Rotenburg an der Fulda" !!! The half-timbered houses on the Fulda and in the old town are perfect for a stroll with a camera.

Our second stop today took us 30 minutes by car from Melsungen to Rotenburg a.d. Fulda, for me undoubtedly the most beautiful half-timbered town in the whole of Hesse.

In contrast to Melsungen, there are many mountain tours here, which, if you have the time and inclination, allow extensive hikes through higher regions with fascinating views of the city.

A little stroll through Rotenburg an der Fulda. The historic old town with the half-timbered houses, the bronze figures, the castle and the remains of the Middle Ages (witches' tower, citizens' tower, city wall) is really worth seeing.
