Over the river and through the woods, to Rothenburg ob der Tauber we go! A Christmas Village...: Photos 21 to 42
Europe » Germany » Bavaria » Rothenburg ob der Tauber
November 27th 2008 by Keith and Pete
Our Thanksgiving holidays were spent in Germany, totally immersed in the advent of Christmas! The three of us, Kate, (colleague, not daughter) Keith and myself, headed out of Poland to see what the Christkindlsmarkt was all about.
Kate and I have been looking forward to shopping the traditional markets, tasting the "gluhwein", and eating hearty German food! And I think Keith was ready to get on the autobahn. I can hear some of you snickering! Yep, he was speeding down the highway! Well, speeding for him, we were getting passed left and right! The recommended speed limit is 130 km/h (81 mph), and true to his nature he barely exceeded that! Although he did over-take some of the trucks, and as Kate said, drivers that looked to be a hundred and one years old!
Oh, and we have a new travel friend, "Inga". More about her later...
This route that we are taking is called the Romantic Road. It essentially represents German culture and scenery. With our long weekend constraints, we won't be traveling the entire route. But we will see Bavaria's little picturesque towns of Rothenburg, to Neuschwanstein's castle, and then we will end up in Munich.

been enjoying your blogs, and your 'take' on some of the places i have been to. I missed Rothenburg in previous travels, but after reading this blog, I promise to save up for another trip to Europe and visit Rothenburg. However, I can't promise to do it in winter!

there is a mirror attached to the window, positioned to allow the home owners to see who might be knocking on the door below
trying to decide if he would taste the schneeballen
It turned out to be pretty good! Just remember to eat it soon after you buy one. We bought a couple for our road trip, and they fell apart.
