Fodor's Expert Review Der Meistertrunk Festspiel
Rothenburg-ob-der-Tauber
Cultural Festivals
From Friday through Monday over Whitsun (Pentecost) weekend every year, the town celebrates the famous wager said to have saved it from destruction in 1631, at the height of the Thirty Years' War. A play of the events takes place every day, and handicraft and artisan markets, along with food stands, fill the town squares.
