Visit both one of the oldest and largest castles in the south of Germany and the best preserved medieval city in all of Europe. On our trip to Rothenburg and Harburg, you will discover a true fairytale enclave.
Harburg Castle and Rothenburg Day Trip
The route from Munich to Harburg Castle and the city of Rothenburg is often referred to as Southern Germany's Romantic Road. This wonderful trip takes you into the heart of the idyllic forests and mountains of Bavaria.
After collecting you from the meeting point, we will begin our journey into rural Bavaria. Our first stop is Harburg Castle. Here, you will have the chance to explore this beautiful 11th-century fortress at your own pace (entry not included). This extensive hilltop complex is one of the oldest and best conserved medieval citadels in Bavaria.
Following the castle visit, our route continues toward Rothenburg. To reach this small city, we will pass through the fascinating volcanic landscapes of the Suabia region, which is abundant with fossils of prehistoric animals.
Finally, we arrive at Rothenburg, a medieval town that has been perfectly preserved over the centuries. The striking red tiles of the rooftops earn it the nickname 'Red Fort'.
We will explore the charming cobbled streets and the enchanting old town, where you will encounter the 14th-century wall that we pass through via the old gateway to the city. You will also have the opportunity to stroll along the wall and even climb up to the top of the 200m Röedert Tower.
Following this tour, you will have free time for a meal and enjoy shopping in the narrow streets of one of the most beautiful locations in Germany.
Our return trip to Munich will pass through Hallertau, the largest hop-growing area in the world. We will finally reach the original point of departure at around 7 pm.
