With over 1,250 years of history, not many cities can look back on such a rich past as Ansbach. Founded as a monastery where the Onoldsbach and Rezat Rivers meet in Bavaria, Ansbach has witnessed its fair share of turbulent times. The castle ruins around the city could tell some fascinating stories. The best way to explore the town and its picturesque surroundings is on your bike. On these Tours, we take you through quiet forests, sleepy villages, and numerous glistening lakes in the Franconian Lake District.
In this Collection, we present 11 cycling Tours ranging from short and easy to more challenging rides that will get you pedalling hard. On the way, you discover many of the special treasures hidden in the region of Middle Franconia. Whether you are a local or just visiting, you will be surprised by the varied sites. As you ride along the European watershed that separates the North Sea from the Black Sea, you visit impressive Medieval towns, hidden swim spots, and historic churches. To round off your adventure, you learn how to recognise fresh carp, and where and when to eat it.
Ansbach can be proud of both its cultural history and magnificent nature, as well as its culinary delights. Plus, all of this is only half an hour away from Nuremberg by train. The royal residence city is looking forward to seeing you!
