Sunday stroll around Rothenburg


When have you been to Rothenburg o.T. in Southern Germany last time?

One of Germany's most popular tourist destinations is only half an hour travel time away from our hometown. So every now and then my sweetheart and I take advantage of the proximity of time and place and pay a visit to Rothenburg.

Last Sunday we did this trip together with two good friends, had a great breakfast at our favourite "inn in the meadows" UNTER DEN LINDEN first and thereafter we had a very pleasant stroll along the Tauber Valley path beneath Rothenburg.

So please accompany us on our stroll through the phantastic springtime nature of this splendid location.


It's blowball time...

...and time of the chestnut bloom.


And - surprisingly - we had an encounter with "wild beasts"...


...the herd of "Taubertal Alpakas" - Tauber Valley alpacas....


...bred far away from their habitat Andes Mountains to delight their owners and visitors and - of course - to use their precious wool.


Short prior Pentecost you can find many peonies in our local gardens and parks.
We name this beautiful flower "Pfingstrose" - literally translated to "Pentecost Rose".







I hope you enjoyed our common stroll along the river Tauber - and the precious items we found along the track.


CU (See you) at Rothenburg next time!?!?!

May impressions


Any idea why spring is my favourite season of the year???


The maypole in the little village of Auernhofen, Franconia.


Dandelion bloom versus flourishing apple trees


explosion of the apple blossoms - either in white or in red



May 1 at Rothenburg ob der Tauber. Nearly no tourists, although we had "Kaiserwetter" ( = glorious, sunny weather) all day long. Instead of the tourists from all over the world I was able to take all the "standard tourist photographs" 85% of all Japanese tourists have in their photo albums as well... ;-)



Rothenburg's most popular panorama view - remarkably without any tourists at the photo spot


Flieder - lilac - Syringa vulgaris - the flowering deciduous shrubs with the fragrant flowers


cherry bloosom of a Japanese flowering cherry / Zierkirsche...


...at the riverbank of the Tauber
