The best traffic-free bike rides around Roßtal

Starting point for the Joke Hiking Trail

One of the highlights of the place

It would be nice to know why a HL was created here and why it is worth visiting. Or you can just leave it and leave it to the locals.

On the eastern shore there are some lovely beer gardens and even a section of beach where dogs are allowed. The path around the lake is paved and in places separated for cyclists and pedestrians.

The gatehouse in Altenmuhr is the landmark of the municipality of Muhr am See in the Middle Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen. It was part of Altenmuhr's fortifications with a moat and rampart. The building with the postal address Rosenau 6 is registered as an architectural monument in the Bavarian monument list under the monument number D-5-77-114-22.[1] The gatehouse stands at the transition from Rosenau to Kirchenstrasse on the northeastern edge of the old town of Altenmuhr on the road towards Neuenmuhr at an altitude of 417 m above sea level.[2] The previous building of the gatehouse was built in 1551. The current building was built in 1752.[1] The gatehouse was inhabited by the town's night watchman and oxherder. The building remained inhabited until the 1960s. In 1982 it was raised to allow larger vehicles to pass through. The mansard roof of the half-timbered building is crowned by a small bell tower Source: Wikipedia

Worth seeing.

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1413 as "Weinposs".[5] In 1804 the place was first referred to as "Wimpeshof".[6] Like the places Wimpasing, Wimpassing or Windpassing found in the old Bavarian region, the place name is derived from the Old High German word "Wintpoz" (= gusting wind, windy area).[5] Towards the end of the 18th century there was a property in Wimpashof. The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach judgeship Roßtal. The landlord of the farm was the Nuremberg owner von Kreß.[7] From 1797 to 1808 the place was under the jurisdiction of the Cadolzburg Justice and Chamber Office. As part of the municipal edict, Wimpashof was assigned to the tax district of Buchschwabach, which was formed in 1808, and to the rural community of Weitersdorf, which was founded in the same year.[8] As part of the administrative reform in Bavaria, Wimpashof was incorporated into Roßtal on May 1, 1978.

The town was probably founded around 800. In a document that was written between 1132 and 1150, the sale of the goods of the Bamberg canon "Volmar in Tefersendorf" in Ketteldorf to the Heilsbronn monastery was confirmed. This is also the first documented mention of the place.[5] The defining word of the place name is the Slavic personal name Dobriš. In 1339, the brothers Conradt and Burkhard Pfefferbalg sold land in "Teferßdorf" to the Heilsbronn monastery, which they had received from Count Gottfried von Hohenlohe.[6] From 1566 to 1818, the Nuremberg patrician Scheurl had a seat in the town. Towards the end of the 18th century, there were eleven properties in Defersdorf (castle, four farms, a half-farm, two estates, a small farm, a brickworks). The high court exercised the Brandenburg-Ansbach judgeship of Roßtal. The Scheurl von Defersdorf family had the village and community authority as well as the manorial authority over all properties.[7] In 1799 there were still eleven properties in the town.[8] From 1797 to 1808 the town was under the jurisdiction of the Cadolzburg Justice and Chamber Office. As part of the municipal edict, Defersdorf was assigned to the tax district of Großweismannsdorf, which was formed in 1808, and to the rural community of Großweismannsdorf, which was founded in the same year. The entire town was under the voluntary jurisdiction of the Defersdorf Patrimonial Court until 1848.[9] As part of the regional reform in Bavaria, Defersdorf was incorporated into Roßtal on May 1, 1978.
