From here you have a beautiful view of the historic city and city wall. It's worth it, even if you just drive by below.

The area around the Wörnitz is really super beautiful. You can't cycle directly along the Wörnitz - :-) "rarely" probably describes it even better, but the river winds its way very naturally through the landscape.

The name alone is already a promise - but it's only really great with the ascent from the west!

Rothenburg is considered one of Germany's best-preserved medieval old towns, and the first glimpse of the half-timbered facades around the market square immediately shows you why. If you have some time, a walk along the completely preserved town wall is worthwhile. From above, you'll see the old town's roofscape from a perspective you won't soon forget. In the early morning, the city is still quiet and almost belongs to you alone.

The newly asphalted and partly prepared with fine gravel cycle path 🚵🏽♀️ between Dombühl via Diebach to Rothenburg ob der Tauber 🏰 follows the old railway connection 🚂 from Dombühl to Rothenburg. The tracks 🛤️ are no longer there, but the old, restored station building of Bockenfeld still exists. In other places, it is still recognizable that you are traveling on the former railway lines.

This is an old church path from Oberbreitenau, Unterbreitenau, and Schönbronn to Kirnberg. Schoolchildren used to use this path too. Unthinkable today.
