The Romantic Road is about 500kms long and joins several very scenic German towns and villages. We took the opportunity to go to Rothenburg on the weekend to walk the midevel village at the head of the Romantic Road.
The weather was wonderful, and the fall colours are about peak for here. There is a bit of fog every day, and that adds to the mystique of all of the stone walls.
Rothenberg is a bit of a tourist village and is famous for its "schneeballen"which are egg dough fried and then either sprinkled with powdered sugar or covered with chocolate. We each ate one, and must admit that will be the one and only, but they sure look better than they taste!
We enjoyed our 4 day long weekend, as the next day we cycled to Nuremberg and back home (50kms) and then a day in Bamberg via the train, and one day of rest ( 2hr hike in the local forest). There must be something to be said for not owning a TV. The weather is supposed to hold out this weekend, so we will be sure to update you with any photo's but we have not planned a destination as of yet.
