Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to drive to this beautiful medieval town. It's German name means "Red fortress above the Tauber" (referring to the Tauber river). Some of the architecture of this town dates back to the 900's.
Some other fun facts about this town:
-It was the inspiration for the Disney movie Pinocchio
-It was the location for the Vulgarian village scenes in one of our favorite movies, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
-It can be seen in the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
We didn't know any of these fun facts when we visited the town. We had just heard it was a cute town. We also knew that the Rothenburg Christmas market was opening this week. We had a fabulous time!
With the Christmas market and the cold weather, we didn't plan enough time to see everything. So, we'll have to come back soon. But take a look at what we did see:
