The Romantic RoadGermany’s best known and most popular tourist route

The triad of nature, culture and hospitality has been the trade mark of the RomanticRoad for over 50 years. Running from the River Main to the Alps, it is Germany’s bestknown and most popular tourist route. The name Romantic Road expresses what manyguests from home and abroad feel on seeing medieval towns or the fairy-tale castleat Neuschwanstein: fascination and the sense of being transported back in time. FromWürzburg to Füssen, the Romantic Road opens up a wealth of European history, artand culture to travellers. On the way from north to south, the landscape changes fromriver valleys, fertile agricultural land, forests and meadows to dramatic mountainscenery: from Würzburg and wine, the Tauber Valley and Rothenburg, via the Ries,Lechfeld and Pfaffenwinkel districts to the castles of King Ludwig. However, a journeyalong the Romantic Road offers much more than beautiful countryside and culinarydelights. The Romantic Road thrives on the harmony of culture and hospitality, on theunending series of new vistas in polymorphic landscapes, on towns with impressivebuildings that have preserved their original appearance over the centuries. BalthasarNeumann designed the Residence in Würzburg. Tilman Riemenschneider is presentthroughout the Tauber Valley. Carl Spitzweg was fascinated by Rothenburg andDinkelsbühl. In the Ries district, you can see the history of the earth for yourself.Augsburg bears witness to the Romans and, with the ’Fuggerei‘, is distinguished bythe first social housing, which dates back to the 16th century. The ’Wieskirche‘, one ofthe most famous Rococo works of art, is to be found in the Pfaffenwinkel district.Hohenschwangau and, above all, Neuschwanstein, the world-famous castle of BavarianKing Ludwig II, are dreams in stone of bygone times and mark the end of the RomanticRoad at the foot of the Bavarian Alps.If you are travelling by car, mobile home or motorcycle, simply follow the brown signs thatlink the individual towns along the Romantic Road. Cyclists can follow the green signs ofthe Romantic Road Long Distance Cycle Route over the 440 km from Würzburg to Füssen.Under the number D9, this route is also part of the German Bicycle Club (ADFC) network ofcycle routes. The blue signs mark the long-distance hiking route, a genuine pleasure routeof almost 500 kilometres that passes through beautiful countryside and romantic townsand villages. Take time to explore the landscape, art and culinary delights that await youalong the Romantic Road. On the way from the RiverMain to the Alps, you can be sure of discovering ahost of extraordinary, inspiring and amazing sightswell off the beaten path of mass tourism.
