The Cities of the Holy Roman Empire Walk 2008 | |
 |
We offer two versions of this walking tour: the basic six nights where you walk straight through as on most of our other walking tours; and the extended nine nights version where you spend a full extra day in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Dinkelsbühl and Nördlingen, so that you can really explore these beautiful and fascinating towns. |
