Town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber (germany visit 2)

Located in  the district of Ansbach, in the state of Bavaria, Germany.  Here in the middle Franconian region is a well known medieval old town.     A free Imperial city from the  late middle ages until 1803.  
Red Fortress above the Tauber is the German meaning of  Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

This is the one place I have always heard about , a must see.

I enjoyed one of the Schneeballs (snowball)  here , I had to share it actually as it was so big. Mine had chocolate in between the layers of dough.   They were huge,  I found a recipe for them an look forward to making them soon,  will post if they turn out o.k.

 

I think this is the most photographed building when visiting here

very red geraniums
