If you are not catered for in the hotel, the morning starts in one of Rothenburg's many bakeries. The bakery trade continues here. The famous snowballs are more for the afternoon and evening. But delicious pretzels, fresh rolls and homemade bread with fresh side dishes sweeten the start of the day. In addition to the bakeries, we can also recommend the city's cafés with freshly made spreads and finely selected breakfast offerings. On the Rothenburg Map the filter leads breakfast to happiness!
