After Weikersheim we continued south and stopped at a Stellplatz in Rothenburg for the night. This walled town is set high above the River Tauber and at first sight is almost too quaint to be true – imagine if Walt Disney had built a german town! The place is full of cobbled streets and surrounded by many tall towers protecting the town walls.

The food on display was very interesting – from butcher’s windows full of every variation of german sausage to the local delicacy of Schneeballen – strips of pastry squashed into a ball and then deep fried. I tried but I’m not sure I’d go back for more!
