Maps and trails
Pfofeld has a geographically favourable location: it is situated between the Altmühltal and the Brombachsee. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills and meadows crossed by clear rivers. The region thus offers ideal conditions for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or water sports.

There are many tourist attractions: visit Ellingen Castle with its impressive baroque façade or explore the historic old town of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen with its picturesque half-timbered houses. The Weissenburg Roman Museum is also worth a visit.

Cultural highlights can also be found in the region: the "Altmühlfranken" festival attracts numerous music lovers every year and presents a wide range of classical, jazz and pop music from all over the world. Another highlight is the annual medieval festival in Gunzenhausen - here you can experience at first hand what life was like in the Middle Ages.

The regional specialities in particular provide culinary delights: be sure to try the famous Nuremberg gingerbread or taste Franconian beer straight from the barrel! Hearty dishes such as pork knuckle or bratwurst should not be missing from the menu either.

The best outdoor activities can vary depending on the season: In summer, water sports such as sailing, surfing or stand-up paddling are ideal. A bike tour through the Franconian lake landscape is also a real highlight. In winter, on the other hand, the nearby ski resorts are a lure for winter sports.

If it ever rains, there is still plenty to do: Visit the Museum of Industrial Culture in Nuremberg or take a trip to the thermal spa in Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen.

Where is the most beautiful? That's hard to say - every place has its own unique charm! However, hikes along the Altmühltal and a walk around the Brombachsee at sunset are particularly recommended.

Pfofeld, Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen is definitely worth a trip and offers something for everyone. With this Travel Guide you have all the important information for your next holiday at hand!

    Es ist immer wieder schön im Fränkischen Seenland unterwegs zu sein. Es lohnt sogar einen kleinen Abstecher über Pleinfeld zur Sommerrodelbahn zu machen.

    Sehr schöne Tour und sehr zu empfehlen. Die GPX-Daten stimmen insbesondere zwischen dem Altmühlsee und dem kleinen Bronbachsee stimmen nicht. Die Fahrradwege sind allerdings sehr gut ausgeschildert und auch hier findet man den richtigen Weg so sehr gut. Die Wege am Ufer des großen und kleinen Brombachsees sind z. T. sehr stark frequentiert von Fußgängern oder Badegästen, weshalb es die meiste Zeit separate Fuß- und Radwege gibt, was sehr angenehm ist.

    Tolle Runde! Bin ich vor vielen Jahren bereits gefahren, aber immer wieder schön. Wer möchte, kann die Tour an verschiedenen Stellen abkürzen. Ein großer Teil der Strecke ist schattig, also auch im Hochsommer angenehm.
