A step back in time – Rothenburg

Our last trip while in Germany was to Rothenburg ob de Tauber, a gorgeous medieval walled town on the Romantic Road. Not only was the setting perfect, surrounded by forests and rolling hills and fields, but the town itself was so pretty.

I felt severely underdressed and should really have been wearing traditional dress at least if not a Belle outfit, it really was like stepping back in time.

Not only was it gorgeous but there were so many lovely shops, food, gifts, weapons and armour (and embroidery and Christmas shops as I mentioned in my earlier post). We spent so much time shopping we didn’t get to see all of the town so would love to go back someday for longer.

All of the shops and hotel had beautiful signs outside them as well, this was the weapons’ shop sign.

The wells in the town had all been decorated for Easter, these were all real eggs, hand painted and they looked beautiful.

A wonderful sunny day out and a perfect end to our trip.

Thanks for visiting.
