This picture captures the unique morning mood in Rothenburg ob der Tauber - one of the most beautiful and historically significant places in Germany. When the first rays of sunlight touch the medieval alleyways and soft light falls on the half-timbered houses, an atmosphere is created that seems almost timeless. The morning tranquillity, the cobblestone pavements that are still empty and the warm colours of the dawning day lend the scene a special magic.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is world-famous for its well-preserved old town, which looks like a piece of history. In the early hours, the town shows its most intimate side - quiet, romantic and full of harmony. This motif conveys exactly this feeling and is ideal for anyone who is enthusiastic about architecture, historic towns and the beauty of the early hours.
