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 newly asphalted and partly prepared with fine gravel cycle path 🚵🏽♀️ between Dombühl via Diebach to Rothenburg ob der Tauber 🏰 lies on 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 too, it is still recognizable that you are traveling on the former railway lines.

There are many places from which you have a great view of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, but I find the view of the medieval town, with its unique silhouette and towers, most beautiful from the Tauber Valley or from Engelsburg Castle.

The focal point of the town center is the market square, which, with its remarkable town houses and old Franconian half-timbered buildings, exhibits an unusual sense of cohesion and is widely known as the "Festival Hall of Franconia." The market square's crowning glory is the tubular fountain, built in 1727. The fountain column features the goddess Minerva, the protector of local trades. The fountain's frame is adorned with the colorful and historic coats of arms of Brandenburg and Württemberg, as well as the imperial eagle and Feuchtwangen's city coat of arms, the spruce tree.
