Earlier this month, I visited Heidelberg and its surroundings and posted about it here. This weekend, I went to Würzburg and Rothenburg, and it was amazing!
Without knowing it beforehand, we happened to visit Rothenburg during the historical festival Der Meistertrunk, which reenacts how the city was supposedly saved during the Thirty Years’ War. The town was full of people in historical costumes, parades, and reenactments, which made the visit even more memorable.
Würzburg was also very interesting. It felt like a smaller version of Heidelberg, especially around the bridge where people gather to have a drink and enjoy the view. The local white wine was nice, although the rosé wasn’t really my style.
The restaurants were also more affordable and, in my opinion, better quality than the ones I tried in Heidelberg, although maybe I just got unlucky there. Overall, Würzburg felt less touristy and a bit more relaxed.
I’ll be back in Germany this Wednesday to hike the Westweg from south to north (around 280 km) and film the adventure. Looking forward to discovering another part of the country!

I forgot how beautiful Würzburg was. Thank you for reminding me. My youngest son was born there 39 years ago this month
Just returned from my trip to Würzburg lol. It was fun. I’ve also been to Nürnberg today and was astonished by its beauty. You should definitely visit it if you haven’t already!
Have to have a glass of wine on the bridge!
