Roßtal is located about 20 kilometres southwest of Nuremberg and is known for its picturesque landscape with rolling hills and green forests. The town has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Today it offers numerous tourist attractions such as historic buildings, museums and churches.

One of the highlights of Roßtal is the town church of St. Bartholomew with its impressive tower and beautiful interior. Another must-see is Ratibor Castle with its magnificent park - a perfect place for a walk or picnic on a sunny day.

Cultural events are also an important part of life in Roßtal. In summer there are regular open-air concerts on the market square as well as theatre performances in the castle courtyard. The annual autumn festival attracts thousands of visitors and offers local specialities such as grilled bratwurst and fresh beer from the region.

For all gourmets among travellers, we have good news: Roßtal is famous for its culinary delights! Be sure to try the "Rossdorfer" carp - a regional delicacy prepared in the traditional way - or enjoy a cool beer in one of the cosy brewery inns.

If you like to be active outdoors, there are plenty of opportunities for hiking and cycling tours through the idyllic countryside. Visit the "Frankenhöhe" nature park or take a trip to the nearby Altmühltal - both offer breathtaking views and unique experiences at any time of year.

Even if the weather doesn't cooperate, there are still plenty of activities in Roßtal. The "Alte Schule" museum offers insights into the life of people a hundred years ago and is perfect for a little trip back in time. Or visit the indoor swimming pool with sauna and wellness area - relaxation guaranteed!

In summary, Roßtal is definitely worth a trip! With its charming location, cultural highlights, culinary delights as well as outdoor activities, it offers something for everyone. Don't miss the opportunity to discover this pearl of the Fürth district!

    Wunderschöne, unterschätzte Tour! Stellenweise hügelig, man muss also etwas Kraftausdauer in den Beinen mitbringen (oder schieben). Landschaftlich wunderschön

    Schöne Rennradtour durch den Landkreis Fürth. Sobald man aus Nürnberg bzw. Stein herausgefahrenen ist hat man auch weitestgehend seine Ruhe auf der Straße. Werde ich sicherlich nochmal fahren. :)
