Last weekend we went to Rothenburg ob der Tauber for two nights. This is another picture perfect place in east central Germany with over 2000 years of history. It is located on the Tauber River which was very important to the Romans and this was one of their outposts and wine regions.




Here is the front of the Burg Hotel where we stayed which was part of the original west wall of the city in Roman times and then later a monastery.



And a view from our bedroom window with the Tauber River several hundred feet below. The rest of the former monastery is to the right and now a really detailed museum of the town history.



This is the view of the countryside from our breakfast room.



And a placard on one of the buildings next to a park ... Buster beware!!!
