Kulmbach

The margravial town of Kulmbach is home to the world's largest collection of pewter figures in the Pewter Figure Museum. The Plassenburg, a mighty sandstone castle, towers over the town. Extensive hiking trails and a diverse museum landscape whet your appetite for nature and culture.

Famous for the Richard Wagner Festival, Bayreuth offers many historic buildings that are always worth a visit. Among them is the Margravial Opera House, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But the many shops also invite you to stroll and linger.

Eckersdorf

Fantaisie Castle in Eckersdorf near Bayreuth is probably one of the most impressive castles in Upper Franconia. On sunny days, you can stroll through the extensive park and the garden art museum gives visitors an understanding of the history of garden art.

Neuenmarkt

The railway village of Neuenmarkt invites you to visit the German Steam Locomotive Museum. Situated at the foot of the so-called inclined plane, you can experience the history of the railway in Germany at first hand. Excursions in historic steam locomotives offer very special holiday experiences.

Obernsees

Nestled in the nature of Franconian Switzerland, Obernsees offers a place of peace and relaxation with the Therme Obernsees. Here, for example, you can experience a new form of steam bath in the stalactite steam grotto. But children's hearts also beat faster in the fun area.

Coburg

The city of Coburg has one of the most important fortifications, the Veste Coburg, which rests above the city as the so-called "Franconian crown". The annual Samba Festival brings the charm and dazzling colours of Brazilian carnival to Coburg and attracts many visitors.
