If you ever take the Romantic Road, then a stop in Rothenburg ob der Tauber (meaning ”above the Tauber River”) is a must. Considered by many as the perfect German fairy tale town, this place will make the travellers feel like they live in a medieval theme park. And, because of this, Rothenburg has the strictest conservation orders from all of Germany. As a Free Imperial City from the 13th century onwards, Rothenburg became one of the most important city states of the middle ages. During the 17th century Thirty Years War, the Ex-Mayor Nusch drank 3 litres of wine in a single gulp, the so-called "Master draught", therefore saving the city from destruction. One walk through its old town, with its web of cobbled lanes and the 14th century defensive wall will make everyone understand why this is an unmissable location.
