Rottenburg am Taube

[Old Crank]

From a while back.

Cute little town that still has the original wall.

1. Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Beautiful village. Spared from destruction in the 100 Years religious War by a local out-drinking the invading general.

3. They also didn't get bombed

Or shelled in WWII. They surrendered rather than have the town destroyed.

2. Beautiful photos in spite of the overcast day! And omigod, the vertical climbs everywhere.

How lucky it is to survive all that history!

Thank you, my dear Old Crank.

4. You are more than welcome.

5. A wonderful tribute by you

It's a mind-gripping experience to walk in the past, as Rothenburg allows. I love that old town and what it let me see when I visited. Thank you Old Crank.

About
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a German town in northern Bavaria known for its medieval architecture. Half-timbered houses line the cobblestone lanes of its old town. The town walls include many preserved gate houses and towers, plus a covered walkway on top. St. Jakob’s Church houses an intricate, late Gothic altarpiece by woodcarver Tilman Riemenschneider. The medieval Town Hall has a tower with panoramic views. ― Google
