Know more about your day trip
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the most iconic medieval town in Germany, known for its perfectly preserved medieval architecture and well-preserved city walls. Walking the walls offers spectacular views of colorful half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets. As one of Germany's most visited towns on the Romantic Road, its fairytale charm inspired Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Dinkelsbuhl is one of Germany's most well-preserved medieval towns with beautifully colored half-timbered houses lining cobblestone streets. Key attractions include the 15th-century St. George's Church with its magnificent altars, the complete defensive wall system, the historic market square with its 16th-century Town Hall, and the small but excellent town museum showcasing local history.
For Rothenburg ob der Tauber, you'll have about 2.5 hours to explore the old town, walk the walls, and visit key sites like the market square. For Dinkelsbuhl, you'll spend about 1 hour, and at Nordlingen, 2 hours. That is plenty of time to enjoy their historic centers, churches, and unique architecture. The entire journey covers approximately 120 miles (193 kilometers) round-trip from Wurzburg.
The ideal time to visit is mid-week during spring (April-June) or fall (September-October) when you'll enjoy pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Summer brings more tourists, especially in Rothenburg. If visiting during high season, arrive early in the morning (before 10am) or late afternoon (after 3pm) when most tour buses have departed.
Nordlingen is the only town in Germany built inside a meteorite crater! It features the most complete medieval city wall in Germany that you can walk entirely. The town's St. George's Church tower offers panoramic views of the perfectly circular town layout. Unlike more touristy Rothenburg, Nordlingen provides an authentic medieval experience with fewer crowds.
All three towns offer excellent traditional Franconian cuisine. Try local specialties like "Schneeballen" (snowballs) - round pastries covered in sugar or chocolate in Rothenburg, hearty meat dishes with dumplings in Dinkelsbuhl, and fresh pretzels throughout the region. Each town has charming cafes and restaurants in their market squares and along the cobbled streets serving authentic German food.
Rothenburg is famous for Christmas ornaments and decorations from KƤthe Wohlfahrt's famous Christmas store (open year-round). In Dinkelsbuhl, look for local crafts and artisanal products like handmade pottery and textiles. Nordlingen offers unique souvenirs made with "Suevite" - a special stone created by the meteorite impact. All three towns have shops selling traditional German products like cuckoo clocks and beer steins.
This trip presents moderate challenges for travelers with mobility issues. While the driver can drop you off close to town centers, all three medieval towns have cobblestone streets and some inclines that can be difficult to navigate. Rothenburg and Dinkelsbuhl have limited accessible routes, and walking the walls requires climbing stairs. Contact Daytrip in advance to arrange any special accommodations you might need.
