Politically, the Ansbach District does not include the actual urban district of Ansbach, but it still has the largest surface area of any district in Bavaria.
If you pay a visit to the northern half of the district, you may be surprised to find most of its gently hilled countryside is virtually unspoiled. This is the Nature Park Frankenhöhe, 1,100 square kilometers of unadulterated, sun-rich natural environs.

A dozen major towns are ready to provide you with memorable experiences here. There is romantic Dinkelsbühl, with its ancient walls, towers and churches. You will enjoy the colorful marketplace of Feuchtwangen, the medieval Katharine Tower and famous abbey of Heilsbronn, and the restored pre-war synagogue at Leutershausen.
A trip to Ornbau means a stop at the scenic Altmühl Bridge. You must see the St. Peter and Paul Romanesque Church in automobile-free Rothenburg ob der Tauber. And no visit is complete without hearing the Boys Choir in Windsbach, among the world’s most acclaimed vocal groups since 1946.
Setting foot in Wolframs-Eschenbach is like stepping back 500 years, the architecture is just that well preserved.
No fewer than 50 small villages also reflect the Ansbach District’s wealth of history and art, nature and culture, past and present, all mixed in rare harmony.
