Brief Itinerary

Plönlein & Marktplatz — easy orientation and photo stop

Start at Rothenburg’s iconic Plönlein and the nearby Markt (Market Square). Short, flat walking that’s stroller-friendly for photos and a relaxed look around the square.

45m

Rathaus (Town Hall) — short tower climb for views (optional with small kids)

Climb the Rathaus tower for a panoramic view. If your child is under 4 or nervous with stairs, parents can take turns while the other enjoys the square or a nearby bench.

45m

Tourist-Information — rest, map, bathrooms and local advice

Short stop to use clean restrooms, pick up a kids’ activity map, and ask about any family workshops (e.g., gingerbread or craft demos) that day.

45m

Family lunch at Restaurant Reichsküchenmeister — local food, kids’ options

Relaxed lunch with space for strollers; the menu has simple child-friendly dishes and staff used to families. Good break after the morning’s walking.

1h 20m

Spielzeugmuseum (Toy Museum) — interactive and calm for kids

A gentle museum visit focusing on toys and puppets — visually engaging for young children and less cramped than larger historical museums.
