Tips

Hiking

The Schandtauber is a 14-kilometer-long tributary of the Tauber River. It rises south of Gammesfeld on the Hohenlohe Plain and meanders as a trickle to Bettenfeld in Bavaria. There, water from a karst spring emerges from an underground cave system and supplies the Schandtauber with most of its water. The river then flows through the pristine Schandtauber Valley, past several mills, before flowing into the Tauber at the Schmelzmühle mill below Rothenburg.

Hiking

The Schandtaubert Valley, which stretches southwest of Rothenburg to Bettenfeld, is a piece of untouched nature. Here, you can truly enjoy the tranquility and, along the way, learn interesting facts about everything from geology to historical hydropower use on the water management trail.
