Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a real tourist mecca. Most everyone in the streets seemed to be a tourist, and we were there in the shoulder season of mid-October! In addition to interesting historic sites, the old town has plenty of shopping, including the world famous Christmas shop Kathe Wohlfahrt. Be sure to visit this shop even if you are not in the mood to purchase any holiday items since it has a little of everything related to Christmas.
While window shopping, I quickly identified the most frequently eaten tourist food item in Rothenburg--snowballs. These pastry balls, which are each about the size of a softball, are made of strips of pastry wound into a ball and coated with various icings or toppings. Very yummy!
While we were in Wurzburg and Rothenburg, the Viking Spirit continued along the Main-Danube Canal and met us in Wurzburg. We sailed for Wertheim after dinner.
