• Spitalbastei - Begin your adventure at the Spitalbastei, the impressive southern bastion. Open the Explorial app, input the 6-digit game code received via text and Viator chat message, and step through the walls into the historic old town. This tour is entirely self-guided—no guide, no set start time, just your group exploring the city.

The Plönlein soon comes into view—a charming tilted yellow house nestled between two tower gates, famous for inspiring countless postcards and, reportedly, a few Disney sketches. Capturing a photo here is a must.

At the Klingentorbastei, riddles guard the northern defenses, where the wall, tower, and waterworks merge into a brilliant fortress corner.

The tour concludes at the Stadtkirche St. Jakob with Tilman Riemenschneider’s Holy Blood altar, so intricately carved it appears to breathe.

Spend around two hours within the walls—after dark, the night watchman takes over. The leaderboard reveals the most dedicated Rothenburger.
