How I enjoy going on a little day trip specially with no kids. To top it off, the trip with free through the Army Community Services! Rothenburg has appeared in several films, notably fantasies. It was the inspiration for the village in the 1940 Walt Disney movie Pinocchio. It was also the location for the Vulgarian village scenes in the 1968 family movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It is sometimes mistaken as the town at the end of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971); that town was Nördlingen.
Rothenburg is also know for it's Christmas shops all year long. Here is one of them. The shop keeps going and going, so pretty!
There is a story behind this clock were every hour the windows open to show the 2 men drinking beer. I guess in 1631 the Swedish man and the German man had to drink so many liters of beer. The German man won, so the city was saved from destruction. Silly!
I finally found the famous spot!
A famous street in Rothenburg called Plönlein with Koboldzellersteig and Spitalgasse
Wouldn't you love to put your kids in here sometimes, just joking! They had a torcher museum and this was outside.
The city is also know for these little round sugar dough type things.

This really brought back wonderful memories of being there with you and the boys. It was cold but beautiful and the dough balls were yummy.
