Rothenberg Christmas Market

We LOVED this Christmas Market. This village was absolutely gorgeous, it is one of the oldest villages in Germany and is very preserved and amazing! It is so much fun to walk through this little village. All the houses and buildings are connected with little roads and walkways in between. The market was in the center of the village and there were stores you could walk into and booths in the center of in the village that sold food and drinks and more Christmas decorations and treasures. Magical is a great word to describe this village and market, even though that is super cheesy! We would definitely go back to the village of Rothenberg! I took a bunch of pictures here so even though they don't even come close to doing justice of how beautiful it was, I hope they give you an idea! Enjoy! :)

That is the wall that goes all the way around Rothenberg enclosing it. 

Walking into the village.

All those buildings were different Christmas stores! 

A lot of the top levels were the homes of the people who owned the stores.

This dog sat on the mans shoulder while he played the accordion for hours. People went up to him and pet him and he never barked or moved, it was pretty impressive!  

Giant nutcracker! 

This was a giant church in the center of the village. this is only the end of it, it was massive!

The lady in the window of this building was Italian and she would constantly be yelling stuff in Italian and German. She would throw bags of candy down to people from her window and then ring a bell and yell some more and laugh! She was completely crazy and we had no idea what she was saying, but it was pretty entertaining! 

This is a famous part of what is called the "Romantic Road".
