Motorcycle ride in Bavaria

Romantic Road, from Rothenburg to Nördlingen

76 km (47 miles), 1 hr 25 min, beginner

Here the Romantische Straße links three remarkably well-preserved medieval towns. From Rothenburg ob der Tauber, it passes through Schillingsfürst and Feuchtwangen, crosses Dinkelsbühl and its ramparts, then reaches Nördlingen, built in the heart of a meteorite crater. Easy country roads and rolling scenery.
