<P> 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 highway 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 . </P>
