ROTHENBURG’S SNOWBALLS

Where is it possible to get your hands on a snowball in July? Why, in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, of course! The town’s speciality are Schneeballen (snowballs), ribbons of dough loosely shaped into balls, deep-fried then coated in icing sugar, chocolate and other dentist’s foes. Some 24 types are produced at Diller’s Schneeballen (Hofbronnengasse 16; 10am-6pm); a more limited range can be enjoyed all over town.

7 Harburg

Looming over the Wörnitz River, the medieval covered parapets, towers, turrets, keep and red-tiled roofs of the 12th-century Schloss Harburg (www.burg-harburg.de; adult/child €5/3; 10am-5pm Tue-Sun mid-Mar–Oct) are so perfectly preserved they almost seem like part of a film set. Tours tell the Schloss’ long tale and evoke the ghosts that are said to use the castle as a hang-out.

From the castle, the walk to Harburg’s cute, half-timbered Altstadt (old town) takes around 10 minutes, slightly more the other way as you’re heading uphill. A fabulous panorama of the village and castle can be admired from the 1702 stone bridge spanning the Wörnitz.

The Drive » A mere 12km separate tiny Harburg with its bigger neighbour Donauwörth. The route follows the B25 all the way across undulating farmland.
