Rothenburg for the day

We will be camping two nights in Rothenburg - any recommendations on what to see/taste/experience? We will have our 7 month daughter with us as well ..

Thank you!

The main site in Rothenburg is the town itself - streets, walls, market square, St. Jakob's church, and medieval architecture. Walk the circumference of the town atop the medieval wall and poke into nooks and alleyways.

Take the Nightwatchman's tour in the evening. It was my favorite thing in Rothenburg.

We enjoyed a daylight tour that started in front of the town hall led by a local historian. Tours in different languages start at vatious times all day long.

If you want to get away a little, the Tauber river valley (north) is nice for a drive. About 10-15 km north of Rothenburg across the Tauber from Tauberzell is the Keltisches Oppidum Finsterlohr (Celtic Iron Age settlement). The small town of Burgstall is right in the middle. Not a lot there to see, but some of the wall has been rebuilt and it is a 2000 year old site. Quiet after the tourists in Rothenburg: www.kelten-creglingen-finsterlohr.de/
