 the big parkngnext to
Spitalstor by globetrott
During the day you have to pay a fee, after 07.00p.m. it is free of charge, BUT Motorhomes have to go to a special parking, and have to pay there each hour day and night. I was lucky that my motorhome is small enough for an ordinary car-park and I was parking there without problem and without fee also during the day, at one of the very few spaces without a meter...

Rothenburg is reached on a one-track spur from Steinach, a minor junction with a real train station but only machines and no attendants. A modern 2 car line runs back and forth between the two towns, with departures and arrivals timed to trains on the main line thru Steinach. To get to the Rothenburg train, one must descend and then climb a flight of stairs - I did not see any provisions for the challenged. Storage facilities are available at the Rotherburg station. The run to Rothenburg is through particularly attractive scenery with rolling hills and occasional small streams. Two tiny stations along the way are little more than an asphalt slab and a sign.
Tour books state that the train station is but a 10 minute walk from the old town, which is true. What they do not state is that once inside the walls it is at least another 10 minutes or more to the Town Hall and Main Square. Taxis are waiting at the train station and are not expensive for a trip right to the center.
From Nuremberg to Steinach, there are occasional through trains, but most trips require a simple across the platform ( no stairs )transfer in Ansbach. A seamless connection, waits for the next train are less than 5 minutes. The whole trip from Nuremberg to Rothenburg is 70 minutes including both transfers. Surprisingly easy.

 a horse-carriage at Ploelein by globetrott
....and certainly the most elegant way to explore the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. These carriages have - in contrary to many other cities - long seats and a capacity of more than 15 passengers per carriage. That way it is a quite affordable pleasure and maybe a good alternative to explore the old town of Rothenburg without the need to walk through it on cobbled stones. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

To get to Rothenburg by train, you need to switch tracks at Steinach, one stop down the line. The train takes only 15 min. to traverse the distance between the two stations.
The train runs to Rothenburg multiple times per hour and are hardly ever full. The carrages are more accomadating to large bags and suitcases as well with plenty of leg room. Leave a Comment

One well-know way tor reach Rothenburg, aside from driving, is via the Romatic Road Bus, operated by the railroad between Munich, Wurzburg, andFrankfurt. Railpass holders get a large discount on the fare. To use the bus you should first check the schedule and then make reservation by contacting Deutsche Touring, Am Romerhof 17, Frankfurt(see Tel below). Theere are drawback, however. Unless you are staying overnighbt, it wil not alloow enough time to see Rothenburg properly. Contrary to poupular belief, it is actually possible toget there by train fro either Munich or Frankfurt, or more easily from Wuzbur.
TRAIN FROM MUNIC require a very early start and chages at Steinach. Be sure to check the schedules boht ways carefully. The ride takes ovr 3 hurs each way.
TRAINS FROM FRANKFURT also calls for an eary start. Chages must be made at both Wuzburg and Steinach. With good connections, the total trip should take about 2 21/2 hours.
By CAR FROM MUNIC take the A-8 Autobahn to the Augsburg-West exit; then the B-2 to Donauworth, and finally theh "Romantic Road" via Nordlingen and Dinkelsbuhl into Rothernburg, whic is 130 miles northwest of Munich. Try to park outside the wall.
BY CAR FROM FRANKFURT take the A-3 Autobahn to Wurzburg, then head south on the A-7 to the Rothenburg exit, which is about 115 miles southeast of Frankfurt. Theme: BusPhone: (069)790-32-50

Because of its location right off the fabled Romantic Road, Rothenburg is very easy to reach by car. Most hotels will have parking spaces available. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Markusturm by Sjalen
Walking from the station to the town centre takes you to the Rödertor town gate, and then this gate, Markusturm, from the old inner wall. Leave a Comment
