2. Donauworth
   15m
   The so-called “Reichsstrasse”, the main road of Donauwoerth offers an impressive ‘taster' of the sights to come on this historically rich and picturesque tour.
3. Harburg Castle
   30m
   At this stage you will definitely feel the romantic vibe of the tour:
   This charming little town along the river Woernitz offers splendid photo opportunities, as does the castle high above. (The castle can only be visited in the summer season, from mid-March to early November)
4. Nordlingen
   1h 15m
   Located in the midst of a meteorite crater, the former imperial city of Nördlingen boasts a fully walkable circular city wall.
   The 90-meter high church tower "Daniel" was formerly used as a watchtower.
   At the latest here we meet our first Christmas market (open daily from 11 a.m.)
5. Dinkelsbuhl
   2h
   Dinkelsbühl could be called the "little sister" of Rothenburg - just as romantic but not so crowded. It is the perfect place to have lunch (not included), your guide can recommend a good restaurant to you.
   The old town is dominated by the tower of the Gothic St. Georg-Church, a visit to the almost 60 square meter nativity scene inside is definitely worthwhile! The Dinkelsbühl Christmas market, located in the historic 'Spitalhof', is open daily from 1 p.m., on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m.
6. Rothenburg ob der Tauber
   4h 30m
   This world-famous medieval city will exceed all your expectations!
   
   We can start with an approx. 1 hour guided walking tour in the very heart of the city, leading you to all the breathtaking sights, including:
   > the town hall at central plaza
   > the 'Meistertrunk - clock'
   > the Saint James church (small entrance fee) with its noteworthy wood-carved altar (early 16th century) containing the famous holy blood relic and Riemenschneider’s masterpiece of woodcarving
   > the viewpoint at the former castle's location
   > the splendid 'boulevard' Herrengasse with the overwhelming Christmas world and much more!
   
   Back to the main square:
   Nestled in the picturesque setting between the town hall and the church, the Rothenburg Christmas Market, called the 'Reiterlesmarkt', is one of the most charming in Germany. And as one of the few, it has a centuries-old tradition, as the name suggests. The "Reiterle" comes from the Germanic legend world and - like Santa Claus - is a lucky figure that delights all people through his visit. (Open daily from 11 a.m.)
