The test tower

Towering high above the city, its curved spire alone makes it a true landmark: the thyssenkrupp test tower in Rottweil . Here, elevators are put to the test. Innovative elevators for skyscrapers are tested and certified in 12 shafts. The structure reaches a height of almost 250 meters. Anyone wanting to go high and enjoy a breathtaking view should definitely visit the observation deck, which opened in October 2017. From a height of 232 meters, a completely different perspective of the city of Rottweil and the surrounding region unfolds.

The Roman Road and the Clock Road

Have you always wanted to walk in the sandal footsteps of the ancient Romans? Then you should definitely visit the Roman road Neckar-Alb-Aare, at the center of which lies Rottweil.

A diverse landscape and rich cultural heritage await you. Discover the history of Roman settlement along the former highways of the empire.

You can experience the former province of Upper Germania along the Roman road, which stretches for approximately 400 kilometers.

The German Clock Route, another supra-regional attraction, passes through Rottweil. Several sundials can be admired along this route.

Theater lovers will also find plenty to enjoy during a holiday in a vacation home in Rottweil. The Zimmertheater (Chamber Theater) is located right in the heart of Rottweil's picturesque old town. Its theater hall is approximately 300 square meters and can accommodate 100 to 150 people. In the summer, you can experience theater under the open sky. Whether you prefer classics or would like to see a world premiere, the Zimmertheater's program has something for everyone, including the "Golden Rottweiler." The Zimmertheater has been awarding this cabaret prize since 2003. All nominees present excerpts of their work during a long night of cabaret, and the winners present their full programs the following evening.
