Our first stop was Rothenburg ... yes jetlag and all. Before we even entered the city walls we ran into this little building. Doesn't it have tons of character? I loved all the flower window boxes everywhere. All the homes/buildings were so fun to look at.
Entering the city walls
The town square. The clock tower is suppose to have a great display every hour up until a certain time. We were so excited to see it. It was a major disappointment ... or something went wrong because it lasted only a minute or two and then it stopped ... froze or something ... then retreated, never to be seen again. Can't really recommend it but can't really say to stay away either.
Cool, ornate fountain. They would take those metal rods and use them to fill their buckets of water. It was fun to show the kids how they worked and tell them what they were used for.
We climbed the church tower (paid the fee - I can't remember what it was now) at the very top right before you climb a narrow steep ladder to the outside. It was well worth it. The view from the top is amazing! It was so neat to see all the roof tops and all the colors. You can see the whole city, and the entire city wall surrounding the city.
They had these signs everywhere! They were so neat and so detailed, I totally loved them!
I know, a picture with the kids, but I had to include it. Do you recognize this little street?!
