travel europe germany bavaria rothenburg ob der tauber the plonlein
The Plonlein, which translates as the "flat place," is probably the most photographed site in Rothenburg.
Here, the Untere Schmiedgasse splits onto two levels; the Plonlein that terminates at the Siebersturm above on the left,
and the Kobolzeller Steige that leads to the Kobolzeller Tower below.
Between the two is a quaint old half-timbered house.
