Tour of Rothenburg on der Tauber
Description:
The story of the “Sleeping Beauty.”
Even in Bavaria, where there are many ancient cities and historical monuments, it is a perfect unique place, as from the end of the Thirty Years’ War to the present day the city has not undergone any external changes. It can be walked along the 16th century fortress wall. Miraculously, and this is reported not only by its residents, but also by documents from the Federal Archives, it survived World War II. Thanks to countless old house signs, signs, small, gingerbread houses, narrow streets and alleys, everyone, once here, feels in the fairy tales of his childhood. The workshop of the gentlemen's advisers with the clock and figures of General von Tilly and mayor Nousch, represent every hour the main urban legend. Famous teddy bears let soap bubbles out of the second floor window. Here hungry travelers satisfy their hunger with a toasted half-meter sausage, and thirst squeezed in the hand press with apple juice. Among other things, Rothenburg is famous for the fact that Christmas toys and jewelry (handmade) are sold here all year round and even in July you can admire the amazingly beautiful Christmas tree. This store is deservedly called a museum. In addition, the city has a museum of dolls, a museum of clickers, as well as a museum of forensics with the infamous iron maiden. It is currently the only surviving specimen in the world.
