If You will use more busses per day and You are alone, the Tages-Ticket Solo ist the best solution. The price depends on the location which is farthest. The maximum price is 16,80 € for the whole region around Nuremberg.

For Würgau You need a ticket for 4 zones (maximum 10 zones for the whole region). The price is 10,60 €.
For two single tickets (to Würgau and back), You have to pay 8 € (2 x 4 €). But with the Tages Ticket You can use all other busses (maybe in the city or to other villages the whole day).

You can use the Tages Tickeet until 3 a.m. A weekend = a day.

If You are 2 adults (and some children) You can buy the Tages Ticket Plus.

The prices:

You need the information how many zones (Tarifstufen) has the village which is the farthest away from the starting station.
http://www.vgn.de/tarifzonenplaene/gesamtraum/
is a map of the whole regon. You search for Your starting point and then the village/city which is the farthest of Your tour of the day. You count the numbers of white lines who will cross. If You cross 4 lines, You need a Tages Ticket for 5 zones.

Or You search for the connection between two bus/train stations:

Then You get the time informations and also the price information for this connection.
P.e. You ask for the connection between a station in Bamberg and a station in Würgau, You get the information (Tarifzone 4). If You go with Your cursor over "Ticket kaufen" You can see the price information in Euro.

If You need tickets for more days, maybe the so-calles "7 Tage Mobi Card" can a better solutions. You can drive 7 days for 30,60 € (Tarifzone 4). For the whole area the price is 77,70 €.
