| Ansbach is known for it's 18th century buildings. Palace (here) and Orangery. |
We left the Gasthaus Bub after a chaotic and noisy breakfast in canteen-like surrundings for the peaceful paths of Franconia.

| Views on the way |
Ansbach was another city that I had visited 35 years ago. Each place I revisit has changed so dramatically that I can't recognise anything. Partly I'm sure because at 18, I was not much interested in the architecture, and also because new buildings are everywhere, although historic centres are well preserved.

| Orangery Garden, Ansbach |
Ansbach has a large US military presence. It also has the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. The Maharaja http://www.maharaja-ansbach.de/

| Swartzer Bock - Very good |
We stayed at the Swartzer Bock and were very pleased with our choice. Excellent breakfast in the restaurant formerly royal stables. A little expensive at 119 euros, but there was a limited choice in town.

| Outside the Swartzer Bock as we left. Black Goat. |
Each day when we arrive on our bikes, we feel very much that we want to get off them and not spend too much time finding accommodation. The centres of these old towns have been carefully managed to retain their atmostphere, stray to far away from the centre and you are in the busy streets full of cars and the view changed dramatically for the worse!
