Welcome to Rothenburg

Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Bavaria

Walking Through a Medieval Town

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, located in Bavaria, southern Germany. The old town, surrounded by walls, still retains its half-timbered houses, cobblestone alleys, and red-tiled roofs, creating a landscape that makes you feel as if you've wandered into a medieval fairy tale.

This town is one of the highlights of the "Romantic Road," a representative tourist route in Germany. While strolling through the townscape that changes with the seasons, you can enjoy the town by peeking into small workshops and shops, or by tasting local sweets and drinks.

"Rather than rushing to your destination, take a turn down a side street."

❖ A Word from the Author

Hello everyone, this is Irika_rourey.
This time, for the World Tour Contest, I created a simulation with a world inspired by Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany ✨️

I personally loved this town the most among the places I visited in Germany and have many memories, so I've paid homage to some of the actual shops (apple chips are delicious, aren't they? 🥰)

I initially intended to create only Albert, but I wanted to walk around the town, so I ended up adding more characters according to my desires 🤭💕

I hope you can enjoy Rothenburg not just by looking at it, but by feeling like you are actually traveling there.
Not only the famous tourist spots, but also the small shops down the alleys and the casual encounters with the people who live there are an important part of this journey.

Please take a map and wander around slowly, taking detours along the way.

— Have a wonderful journey in Rothenburg.
