Claudia was our energetic guide to bring Rothenberg to light. We walked through the Gallows tower gate and began our journey through a medieval era of Rothenberg. We walked through the town learning beautiful historical facts of this town. I wish we had more time to stay and learn. There’s gems waiting to be discovered as you walk along the inner walls! Great guide, great tour! Highly recommend!
