Romantic Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Romantic Road (German: Romantische Straße) is a term coined by travel agents in the 1950s to describe the stretch of highway in southern Germany (in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg), between Würzburg and Füssen. This region is thought by travelers (especially from the United States) to possess "quintessentially" German scenery and culture, such as Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
