When to go to Rothenburg ob der Tauber?
The covered rampart walk goes almost the whole way round, a circuit of timbered gables, tiled roofs and gate towers above the Tauber valley. At the Plönlein, where two lanes fork beneath a tower, everyone stops for the same photograph. The medieval crime museum, meanwhile, sets out centuries of legal and judicial history inside an old commandery.
