Rothenburg ob der Tauber (Romantic Road) and Dinkelsbühl
Schillingsfürst, a residence of the Hohenzollern dynasty with impressive baroque castle Come close to birds of prey at Bavarian Jagdfalkenhof, with birds-of-prey shows.
The market square in Feuchtwangen is often referred to as "Franconia's ball room". Every summer, the "Kreuzgangspiele" festival takes place here, with something for everybody - as a starting point or destination for your cycling tour.
Ansbach, however, is not a typically Franconian town with timbered houses and a labyrinth of little alleys. Ansbach is a rococo town, with baroque facades and renaissance patios.
