Rothenburg ob Tauber is the most visited tourist city in all of Germany, and for good reason. It's said to be the only city in Europe (or is it Germany?) that is completely surrounded by walls. Going to Rothenburg is like taking a step back into the Middle Ages. If you go, be sure to visit the Mittelalterlisches Kriminalmuseum (Middle Age Criminal Museum); It shows, among other things, the way they used to punish people for various offenses back in the day. My personal favorite - when a man made an offensive remark to a woman, he had to wear a wooden pig mask with a sign around his neck that read, "ICH BIN EIN SCHWEIN" ("I AM A SWINE") Click on picture to enlarge...
