About this audio guide
This guide to Unsere liebe Frau zu Kobolzell, the little church by the Tauber below Rothenburg, follows the late medieval crowds of pilgrims who once made their way to it and the stonework built to cope with them. It touches the Peasants' War of fifteen twenty-five and an unlikely nineteenth-century tenant. Best heard outside on the riverside path, where you can see the side doors.
