Rothenburg ob der Tauber


 The former Free Imperial City of Rothenburg where we stayed for a night near the end of the trip. This view shows the street 'Herrngasse,' a former cattle and horse market area where the wealthy lived. (And still do)

 Dolores loved this garden down in the Tauber Valley

This little house was built in the early 1300s and was used by Rothenburg's powerful mayor Heinrich Toppler as a summer getaway. It is larger inside than it looks, due to the small windows. 

 One of the more than 12 towers on the walls around Rothenburg, this one was used to store water in huge oak barrels in the top. 

The wall on the north side of the town with ramparts one can walk upon

 The wall with the famous dungeon tower, said to be deeper than it is high

 Dolores was not up to walking and so we explored Rothenburg with my van. She asked that I specifically take this shot of this pretty view looking south down the Smithy Lane
