Maps and trails
Geographically, the district of Roth lies between the cities of Nuremberg and Augsburg. The area is characterised by rolling hills, forests and rivers. There are many tourist attractions to discover in this picturesque landscape.

One of the highlights is Ratibor Castle in Roth itself, which once served as the summer residence of Count von Faber-Castell. Today it houses a museum with an impressive collection of historical works of art.

The region also has a lot to offer culturally: For example, visit the cultural festival "Rother Bluestage", where international blues artists perform, or enjoy traditional Bavarian festivals such as the folk festival in Hilpoltstein or the Christkindlesmarkt in Schwabach.

The culinary specialities are also not to be sneezed at - be sure to try the famous Franconian bratwurst as well as local beers from small breweries in the region.

There is also plenty of adventure for outdoor enthusiasts: hike through the idyllic valleys of the Altmühltal or cycle along the well-known "Altmühltal Cycle Path". In winter, skiers and snowboarders can wobble down slopes at the nearby ski lift.

Even on rainy days, there is plenty to do in Roth. Visit the "Rothermare" leisure pool, for example, or take a guided tour through the historic alleys of Schwabach.

Whether in summer or winter, Roth is always worth a visit and offers numerous opportunities for an unforgettable stay. Come by and discover for yourself why this district is a popular destination!

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche und gut angelegte Tour. Vor allem der Teil entlang des Brombachsees landschaftlich sehr reizvoll. Es sind sehr viele Eindrücke und unterschiedliche Streckenabschnitte (Wald, kleine Ortschaften und Felder und Wiesen), die die Tour abwechslungsreich machen. Es gibt ein paar kräftige Steigungen zu bewältigen, die aber mit E-Bikes kein Problem sind. Vielen Dank an den Autor. Die Tour hat uns gut gefallen.
