Christmas Market Magic....Rothenburg on the Romantic Road

Walking through the city walls into the medieval town of Rothenburg
 on Germany's "Romantic Road" is like stepping back in time to the 11th Century. 
Beautifully preserved buildings and cobblestoned alleys draw you in to discover 
amazing architecture, meticulously carved statues and the most gorgeous 
Christmas decorations imaginable.
This is literally the place of fairy tales, enchanting visitors, young and old.

The Christmas market stalls selling hand crafted gifts and decorations.
Fairy lights twinkling on real Christmas Trees lining the cobblestoned streets.
Homes and store fronts charmingly decorated, the smells of 
Christmas Spices perfume the air.

The Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas Museum and store is captivating
so many special decorations and a true visual delight. 

Rothenburg has been the most enchanting Christmas Market of all, the magical fairytale setting 
hard to beat. The atmosphere of the old town, decorations and market captivating. 
Even on a chilly Winter day it warmed our souls and it was hard to walk to the other
side of the city walls and leave the medieval town behind.
