It’s the perfect way to taste authentic Franconian flavors and recharge before exploring the town’s medieval streets, festive squares, and famous landmarks. Over a hearty meal, I’ll share insights into Rothenburg’s history and traditions, setting the stage for the magical walk that awaits.

Join me, Sepp, for a one-hour walk through Rothenburg ob der Tauber’s magical old town at Christmastime. We’ll stroll past twinkling lights and festive market stalls on the Market Square, admire the glow of St. Jakob’s Church, and pause at the famous Plönlein corner dressed in holiday charm. We’ll also take a walk along the medieval city wall, where lanterns and decorations light up the ancient towers and gates.
