The town is Roßtal and located 10 miles west of Nuremberg and is actually surrounded by 16 villages.

Next spring we hope to revisit Germany including a partial day in Markt Roßtal. We lived there for 2 years about 20 years ago.
It was only years after we had left that we learned it was immigrants from the greater Roßtal area who settled Frankenmuth, Michigan, a small German-American town that we liked to visit when I was a kid.
Seeing the name of Roßtal here reminded me what a small world it is.

Gary, It was your comment on 'running through the seven villages' that made me ask this question.
I would love to do the same when my husband and I visit Germany in Oct. We will be in Hamburg, Berlin and Cologne....
Thanks.

It is a smaller world than I knew.

There is a map at the bottom of the page. I only remember the names of a some villages but I can hopefully guess the rest:
Wimpashof
Trettendorf (leave road for dirt trail)
Buchschwabach
Rohr (this is a guess, but the road seems right)
Raitersaich (after a right turn in Rohr)
Clarsbach
Roßtal
It was about 10 miles.
But, let me say that there are many great runs in Germany. Most cities will have a major park along a river. Small towns will usually have access to fields and forests. The Germans love to walk so they keep the countryside open to pedestrians.
Arthritis has largely slowed me to a walk but being afoot is one of the joys of visiting Deutschland.
Guter Lauf!
