Graduation and AMT BlackForest, Fri Jun 9, 2023

Adriatic Motor Tours Alsace and Black Forest, Day 7 Schloss Eberstein → Technik Museum Sinsheim → Rothenburg ob der Tauber

Instead of following the Nekar river on the Burgenstrasse, we opted to take highway and save time for an amazing museum, Technik Museum Sinsheim. Then on to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany's best-preserved walled town in the Franconian heartland.
