To Dinkelsbhl from Rothenburg.

Dinkelsbuhl was opened as a fort city surrounded at a riverside district in the tenth century.
It prospered same as Rothenburg as a free city in the thirteenth century.
The town which avoided the war by 30 years war and World War II.
I pass through the gate of a castle wall, the gate and, across two bridges hanging over a river of an irrigation canal, enter a town.
The Georg church where I watched this from the castle wall outside.

This is Kobolzell Gate.

Rothenburg is called "Rotenburg ob der Tauber Rothenburg".
Tauber River is woman, der.
In other words it is will of "A red castle on Tauber River".
I went down to Doppel bridge through out this gate and look out this town in the rain.

Ratstrinkstube (wonderful drinking-chugalugging).

This device clock shows a certain fable.
In 1631, this Protestant town (Rothenburg od der Tauber) was occupied by General Terry of the Catholic armed forces.
And he said " I do not seize this town if somebody drank wine of 3.25 liters at a stretch".
Because Mayor Nushu accomplished this great achievement, the town was saved.

The doll of the general whom held a pistol in the left and the right, the doll of the chuging mayor emerge each at same time on the windows.

Wurzburg.
* The town of the birth of ・ ・ Dr.Siebold.
And X-ray was discovered by Rontgen Wilhelm Konrad at Wurzburg University in 1895.
There is a lot of highlight of this town, but it is ...

An picture was made from a digital camera on 17th, so very hot.

And a seal of the lower left in this picture is a top seal of a jam small bottle attached to breakfast of my stayed hotel, so, to have nothing to do with this picture. Yeah!

Burg Katz
---The castle is set like a crown on the hillside overlooking St Goarshausen. It was built by Count Johann of Katzenelbogem at the end of the 14th century. Napoleon destroyed in 1700 and restored a century later (1896), Burg Katz today houses a Natural Science Grammer and Boarding School. The path by which the castle is reached leads under the three-sroreyed main hall into the courtyard. The view, especially to the Loreley southward, is held to be one of the Rhein's best known.
Burg Katz is private and closed to the public.
---from a site.

Katzenelbogem means "Neko no hiji no hone".
