  • Family-run touring site in Ansbach countryside, southern Bavaria
  • Altmühltal Panorama Trail and Dinkelsbühl both 20 minutes’ drive
  • Tavern, beer garden and breakfast service; dark-skies site
A quiet rural spot to lay your head. Excellent Bavarian dishes available right next to your pitch. Liking the sound of that? You should be thinking seriously about booking a stay at Zur Burgschanke Friedrichsthal, a small family-run site in the middle of Ansbach countryside with grass touring pitches, a restaurant and beer garden. The camping meadow is predominantly flat, with no set pitches so you can settle down in your favourite spot. Views extend over lovely countryside to the edge of the forest – gateway to scenic Bavarian hiking and cycling jaunts, and as there’s no light pollution, at night the skies dance with a starry display. There’s no need to fret about catering matters at all when you stay here, as there’s a breakfast service available – just be sure to put your order in the night before. The traditional tavern serves hearty local dishes and on warmer days there’s no better place to be than the romantic beer garden – both are open all day. Dogs are very welcome on your Bavarian getaway; the owners just ask that they stay on a leash around the site, and that the field be kept clean of waste for other campers.

From the manager: Liebe Gäste, es tut uns Leid dass sie nicht zufrieden waren auf unserem Anwesen. Unser Gelände ist einfach ausgestattet dass ist auch in unserem Sinne. Wer zu uns kommt mag die Natur, dass einfache und meisten auch unser Essen. Sie haben sich sehr zurückhaltent verhalten. Wir haben leider nicht bemerkt dass sie da waren. Wenn ihnen soviel nicht gefallen hat würden wir sie das nächste Mal empfehlen. Mit dem Inhaber zu reden und ihre Beanstandung kund zu tun dann hat man auch die möglichkeit zu reagieren. Wir danken denoch für ihre Kritik. Alles gute ihnen.

Local attractions

Walkers can set out on the photogenic, long-distance Altmühltal Panorama Trail (20 minutes’s drive) along the Altmühl River through gorgeous countryside scattered with bizarre rock formations. Wait for a clear day to hike up the slopes of Hesselberg (15 minutes); from the top you can sometimes spot the Alps, over 90 miles away. Visit the cute town of Dinkelsbühl (20 minutes) to check out the coloured, gabled houses in its historic centre, or travel back in time to see how ancient Roman soldiers lived at LIMESEUM and Römerpark Ruffenhofen (also 20 minutes), which has a scale model of a wooden fort and artefacts found locally in an interactive museum. Kids with you? Introduce them to the history of Bavaria at Altmühltal Valley Archaeological Park (20 minutes), an open-air museum bringing the region’s history to life using reconstructed Celtic settlements and wooden farmhouses. When they’ve had enough of culture, make for the sandy lakeside beach at Seezentrum Wald Altmühlsee (also 20 minutes), or take them to Wille Kinderzoo (15 minutes) to feed the elephants and cuddle the miniature ponies.
