Wurzburg

Drive from Würzburg, the old University town at the River Main, to Weikersheim, famous for its Renaisance castle with magniffcent “Rittersaal” and it`s Baroque court garden. Along small wine villages in the Tauber valley to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany`s most romantic town. It is a glory: the churches, the completely intact town walls, walkable for two kilometres, and the market square that people traverse on their way to the Plönlein, the Crime Museum or the tower walkway. Just beneath the viewing platform, a stork has taken up position on the roof of the town hall. It calmly observes the comings and goings below for a while, before stretching its wings and flying off to its nest on the Markustor.
