Christmas markets in Bavaria was to focus a our Thanksgiving trip this year. We decided to try a country inn rather than a hotel in one of the cities. The Rote Ross had good reviews and was suppose to be near Rothenburg o d Tauber. Near is a relative term. It turned out to be 26km. The hotel exceeded all our expectations. Staff couldn't have been better. The hotel is the cleanest that I have ever stayed in. We came back from day trips to Nuremburg, Wurzburg, and Rothenburg to enjoy the gourmet meals served in the hotel restaurant. Menus get decided by what happens to be available. Offerings included local beef. (As good as we've ever eaten.) Rabbit, deer, fish. FRA was 130 min. on a Sunday morning. Britta left us breakfast "to go" at the back door since we departed at 6am.
