( January 2013 ) Roadsign for the Romantic Road near Fuchstal in German and Japanese Roadsign near Peiting, note the Alps at the background The Romantic Road ( German : Romantische Straße ) is a `` theme route '' devised by promotion - minded travel agents in the 1950s. It describes the 350 kilometres ( 220 mi ) of surface roads between Würzburg and Füssen in southern Germany, specifically in Bavaria and Baden - Württemberg, linking a number of picturesque towns and castles. In medieval times, it was a trade route that connected the center of Germany with the south. Today, this region is thought by many international travellers to possess `` quintessentially German '' scenery and culture, in towns and cities such as Nördlingen, Dinkelsbühl and Rothenburg ob der Tauber and in castles such as Burg Harburg and the famous Neuschwanstein. The Romantic Road is marked along the way with brown signs. Along the route from north to south : Würzburg Holzkirchen ( Unterfranken ) ( new itinery since 2016 ) Urphar ( new itinery since 2016 ) Wertheim ( new itinery since 2016 ) Tauberbischofsheim Lauda - Königshofen Bad Mergentheim Weikersheim Röttingen Creglingen Rothenburg ob der Tauber Schillingsfürst Feuchtwangen Dinkelsbühl Wallerstein Nördlingen Harburg Donauwörth Augsburg Friedberg Kaufering Landsberg am Lech Hohenfurch Schongau Peiting Rottenbuch Wildsteig Steingaden and Wieskirche Halblech Schwangau, Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Füssen Würzburg Rothenburg ob der Tauber Nördlingen Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau End of the Romantic Road at Abbey St. Stephan in Füssen External links Wikimedia Commons has media related to Romantische Straße.
