Germany Klosterturm

Photography Tips
In comparison to the many beautiful scenes Rothenburg has to offer this is a rather unspectacular area, but by including the little gate in the foreground you can achieve a compelling composition.

Travel Information
There are five main parking areas (P1-P5) around the city walls, providing space for roughly 1,000 vehicles and quick access to the old town.
During our visit we always found a place to park our car, but I can very well imagine it will be much harder during non-pandemic times with approximately 500,000 people usually visiting Rothenburg per year.
P5 (Bezoldweg) is the nearest parking place for this spot.
In my opinion the fee of € 5,50 for a day ticket is quite reasonable.
