See the Romantic Road on European Bike Vacations
The Romantic Road in Germany tracks north from Munich to Frankfurt and follows a Roman built road. This European bike tour is one of our European vacations that you won't want to miss. Cycling is the sensible way to visit the Romantic Road. It offers superior chances to see not just the primary tourist attractions, but also the “road less traveled.” It will make a big difference while you travel and once again when your memory recalls the wonder of it.
European Bike Vacations include Medieval Towns Many places along the Romantic Road remain busy with fairs and festivals through the summer and into the fall. All of the cities were involved in trading back in the day, and each played a role in the Thirty Years War. That war was both a German civil war and a religious war between the Catholics and the Protestants lasting from 1618 to 1648. Nördlingen is a small and charming free city (a Medieval term for self-governing). It is built over a crater created by a meteor. The citizens of the town used the rock formed by the meteor to create the church steeple! The city of Dinkelsbühl sits on a crossroad of trading. Spend some time trekking through this walled city and study the fortifications they used. Visit the debtor’s prison, poke around in the ancient dwellings of this trading city, and enjoy the atmosphere of the past.
Christmas All-Year-Round in Rothenburg ob der Tauger Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the last walled city on this part of your Europe travel package, has Christmas all year round. The town almost begs you to walk on top of the wall and to visit its museums. Battles, both religious and civil, have been fought there. If you’re looking to “get your history on,” this is the place to go. The spa town, Bad Mergentheim, was a healing place during World War II for wounded soldiers. Folks still go there for the “cure.” Ride your bike about the town and imagine the knights who passed through here hundreds of years ago.
