The breakfast was the typical German one of sliced meats and cheeses with the always superb section of breads and honey. Boiled eggs are brought to the table. Most of the voices around us were German.
We had a lot of walking and exploring to do today, so once fueled up we were out into the morning sunshine.
The Burg Garten was our first stop as it is a 3 minute stroll from our hotel
Here's one for the cat lovers
If you tire while walking the gardens there are benches here and there
From the gardens you can look back on the town
And you can look down into the valley, over the vineyards .
In some views there are few signs of human inhabitation
-just beautiful countryside.
We walk down past the vineyards to the valley floor
A different perspective of the town from down here, and there are no other tourists
I don't think we've ever found a place which is so pleasant to walk in as Rothenburg. There are no crowds down here in the valley and the only sounds are from the river and the birds singing in the trees. We'll be back amongst the other tourists soon but even then we can find quiet little side streets to enjoy. If you come here though you should stay overnight so you get to experience it when the tour buses leave for the day.
The road from the valley floor back to the town wall starts to climb and we follow it
Coming next-we walk the town wall....
