Rothenburg is amazing - a glorious town of medieval buildings that survived two World Wars and is famous the world over. You might recognise it as Vulgaria from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Rothenburg is a very popular tourist destination and part of the famous German Romantic Road, or Romantische Straße, but by visiting in the mornings and evenings, we managed to miss the worst of the crowds. We were staying in P2 stellplatz just outside the city walls, so we were fortunate to be so well located. It was a busy site (not surprising for only €10 a night), filled by 4pm every night we were there so if you plan to visit, get there early. We also took advantage of the fantastic Night Watchman tour. He was truly brilliant, so knowledgable and full of fun. We were also fortunate to be staying in Rothenburg at the time of the Volks festival - so after a go on the dodgems and ferris wheel, we settled ourselves in the beer garden and enjoyed our first proper German beer and bratwurst. Prost! We like German beer. See where else we found some.
