Brief Itinerary

Day 1

Hearty German breakfast / coffee — Hotel Eisenhut (Marktplatz)

1h

Iconic Plönlein photo stop (the crooked half‑timbered corner)

Quick 20–30 minute photo session at Rothenburg's most famous postcard corner — time it to avoid the peak selfie crowd and capture the classic shot.

25m

Walk a section of the Stadtmauer (town walls) and relax in the Burggarten

Active, scenic loop: climb up to the medieval wall for sweeping views, then descend to the Burggarten (castle garden) for photos over the Tauber valley — perfect for a lively group stroll.

50m

Group lunch — Hotel / Restaurant Reichsküchenmeister (Franconian classics)

Long, relaxed group lunch focusing on Franconian specialties and shareable plates — a great spot for beer tasting and splitting bills among friends.
