    A statue of St. James in Rothenburg serves as the meeting point of several important pilgrim ways. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[402]
         		 Most cities surrounded by fortress walls had a curfew for its citizens to be inside by a certain hour. The main gate at Rothenburg had a manhole that could be used for a small fee. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[285]
         		 Rothenburg is Germany's best preserved walled town thanks to a picture of the city that hung in the house of a boy named John McCloy. His Mom visited Rothenburg in the early 1900s and told him about its beauty and historical significance. As fate would have it years later US General John McCloy called off an air raid over Rothenburg during WWII and elected to negotiate the surrender of the town saving it from destruction all thanks to his Mom. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[378]
         		 Rothenburg and an evening tour with the Night Watchman who had a very comical way of presenting the cities history. The tour lasts one hour and he charges 8 euro per person. We estimated there to be about 200 people on the tour. Not a bad wage for an hours work. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[293]
         		 Rothenburg devised a way to generate funds for maintenance and restoration of the fortress wall. They offer plaques with your name embedded on the wall starting a 1200 euro for a meter.: by danidawnandstevo, Views[276]

    Konigsplatz Square was built in the 19th century and is modeled on the Acropolis in Athens. It was used during the Third Reich as a square for the Nazi Party's mass rallies but now is home to Munich's gallery and museum quarter. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[261]

         		 Nazi Headquarter and Hitlers office where he gave speeches on the balcony. You can still see the bolt holes in the wall that held the giant golden eagles. The government is unable to demolish the building because it is too strong and they can't blow it up because it would risk damaging surrounding buildings so they turned it into a music school and built the Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism. The City of Munich also refuses to make any repairs to it or maintain the grounds. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[243]
         		 Marienplatz and the building where the Nazi party met to plan their anti-semitic act know as
         		 One of the many memorials inside the Dachau Concentration Camp. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[251]
     
    Back to Munich for a city walking tour and one of the many outdoor beer gardens. In the 19th century prior to the advent of refrigeration, German brewers would dig cellars for lagering (Lager is German for storeroom or warehouse) to keep the beer cool during the summer months. To further protect the beer from the summer heat Chestnut Trees were planted above the cellars which have spreading dense canopies but shallow roots that would not intrude on the cellars. The practice of serving beer at these sites evolved into the modern beer garden. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[371]

         		 Blautopf (German for Blue Pot) is a spring in the city of Blaubeuren and a drain for the Blau cave system. The waters blue color is a result of physical properties of the nanoscale limestone densely distributed in the water. The particles are so small that the so called Rayleigh scattering of light takes place scattering the blue color in the visible light. Similar effect is observed in the Blue Lagoon in Reykjavik, Iceland. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[206]
         		 Tiefenhohle Laichingen is one of the deepest caves in Germany. It was discovered in 1892 after a pile of sand collected on the surface used for cleaning mysteriously disappeared.
