Creglingen to Augsburg on the Romantic Road
A short drive from our overnight stop to Rothenburg ob der Tauber complicated by a closed road and a 10 mile diversion or Umleitung in the local parlance.
Finally we see the town which rises high above Tauber Valley and has its complete covered wall and many medieval buildings.
The local legend has it that on one occasion the town was taken by hostile forces and the conquering general offered to spare the city from destruction if anyone could down 3.5 litres of wine in one go.
The mayor volunteered and succeeded saving the town - a feat that is celebrated every year.
We then followed the Romantic Road south to Muhlhausen north of Augsburg.
On the journey a literacy session then comprised creating a poem entitled 'The Romantic Road'
Copies available on application.
