The rail station in Rothenburg ob der Tauber is within a 5 to 10 min flat walk of the Röderturm, which is one of the gates in the wall which surrounds the historic area of the village.
There is no alternative to heading off on foot as the historic centre is car free.
Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the terminus of a branch line which connects at Steinach with a route which links Wurzburg and Augsburg.

At the station in Steinach making the transfer to and from the Rothenburg ob der Tauber branch line trains usually involves using stairs.
