a great park for thrills and relaxing; unfortunately when i left they closed half of the slides half way through the day but still got to enjoy most of them.

Kristall Palm Beach in Stein, Germany, is an exceptional water park that offers a perfect blend of thrilling adventures and relaxing wellness experiences. The park features an impressive variety of 15 water slides, including the famous Pegasus II double-looping slide, the first of its kind in Germany. The wave pool, which activates twice an hour, adds extra excitement, and there's a dedicated area for younger children, making it a great destination for all ages. Beyond the slides, the thermal spa area with indoor and outdoor pools kept at a soothing 33–36°C provides a relaxing break. The sauna village is a standout, with themed saunas like the Gondel sauna, which rises 12 meters during sessions, and the unique Helikoptersauna inside an actual rescue helicopter. The park is clean, well-maintained, and offers good food options. While English signage is limited, and weekends can get very busy, the overall experience is absolutely worth it. A must-visit if you are near Nuremberg or in Bavaria!

So clean All the rides are really beautiful, with different levels staring from slow till the fastest level The sauna experience is really amazing Outdoor pool with bar and music full of vibes

Everything was okay, the wellness area itself wasn't that large, it barely had 2-3 pools with around 34-36 degrees max. The rest of the area was quite crowded with children playing and splashing water everywhere. The food was pretty decent with many nice options. It's difficult to park the car here, we had to park in an empty area near the place because the parking was full.

I have been a loyal guest of The Palms for many years, but my most recent experience was deeply upsetting and unacceptable. During my visit, I began feeling lightheaded and dehydrated. I politely asked for water, stating clearly that I was willing to pay for it. Instead of receiving assistance, I was treated rudely by the staff—despite being a paying customer. What made this experience even more painful was witnessing white German patrons being treated with courtesy and prompt service, while I was ignored and dismissed. I felt discriminated against, not only through the lack of basic hospitality, but also through derogatory language spoken in German—language I understood, although it may not have been assumed I did. When I raised my concerns with the manager, they simply spoke to the staff member in question, who of course denied any wrongdoing. Without security footage or audio recordings, it becomes my word against theirs—but that does not mean my experience should be invalidated. I hope The Palms takes incidents like this seriously. No guest should feel humiliated or discriminated against, especially when asking for something as basic as water while visibly unwell. I would appreciate a formal response and to know what steps, if any, are being taken to address the issue and ensure this kind of behavior is not repeated.

My family and I had an incredibly uncomfortable and disturbing experience at this pool. We were shocked to see a fully naked adult man in an area where children were present. This is not only a breach of the pool's rules but also created a deeply unsafe and inappropriate environment for my child. The lack of action from the staff was deeply concerning. I strongly advise against visiting this pool, especially if you have children." ************ I am replying to your message because you have switched off the reply function. Which is very concerning, that you are not taking this seriously. We are talking about underage children. I was not in the sauna area on the day of the incident. There was absolutely no reason why a grown male be naked in front of my 6 years old daughter. I called the police at 22:02 on 19.08.2025 to report it. ​The Bademeister did not record our complaint, even though we specifically asked him to. I am very concerned that this lack of official record-keeping could be an issue. ​Could you please follow up with the Bademeister on duty at that time and provide me with an update?

The sauna was good. There were queues for Aufguss which is not cool when you want to relax. The therme is huge

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing! (Original) Sehenswert!

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the artificial grotto/cave is only open on weekends, so it loses points. In general, the idea of ​​incorporating an artificial grotto into the Botanical Garden is a good one. You can also see and learn a lot on the path around the cave. (Original) Die künstliche Grotte / Höhle ist leider nur am Wochenende geöffnet, deshalb Punktabzüge. Generell ist die Idee, eine künstliche Grotte im Botanischen Garten einzugliedern, gut. Man kann auch beim Weg um die Höhle herum einiges erblicken und erfahren.

This amusement park was so much fun! Children and adults both had a great time. The park is really big so even if there are a lot of people, it won’t get so crowded. We went here during the weekday and didn’t have to wait for any of the rides/activities. There are so many things to do in this park and it was not possible to try everything. We’d definitely want to come back here.

It's a blast, huge, great park for a family with kids under the age of 10 or 12. It's really kitch. It is a bit run down. It has a nostalgic charm. I thought the entrance fee was a little high, compared to similar amusement parks. The food was reasonably priced. There is a portion themed for the wild west of the USA. It was super fun to spend time in a park with a section themed for where our kids were born.

The park was pretty good, lots to do. One thing that can be done better is to, my opinion, Ban smoking in the park. As there are lots of kids there smoking should be banned as an effort for kids and nonsmokers to have a better day while in the park. Some food stands need customer service training for sure, food safety is not practiced as it was noticed. But overall the park and the rides and the entertainment was pretty Good.

Just the best. Wonderful time. Went during the week; no wait for any bring. Just perfect.

This amusement park is ideal for a family with young children, my daughter is 3 years old, she was able to take part in all the attractions, except for two of which she has not yet reached the size. had. The park is well-kept and lovingly laid out, a bit old, a bit dusty, but definitely worth a visit for the whole family.

Great place for kids, I came with a 9 and a 11 year old they went in almost all the rides multiple times. The park is not so big but it has enough to spend a day of fun. Definitely recommend and will be back when possible.

Very nice semi Theme park close to Nurnberg. The kids and the eldery 😁 had an very enjoyable time. The food was not to good though, which was a shame. All and all a good day with lots of fun and good weather!

Great place por kids! It's small but your children will have a blast! There is an indoor area with several stations to play with a bucket of toys for each kid. There is an outdoor area with a pirate ship and a pirate shack with a slide, a little fountain with a hand pump and another mini slide. The cafeteria has a good selection of dishes and reasonably priced. If you gonna buy some toys, just make sure to buy them at the store before closing time.

Absolutely great outdoor park with tons of water playgrounds . Kids are busy playing there and us adults can sit and relax . It’s great in summer . Personally I don’t like the indoor spot . Way too noisy and stressful . Supposedly winters are long and it’s great to have a playground covered ….but yeah … The outdoors in summer are just the best for young and older kids .

The visit was excellent. However, there aren't many activities for children under 1.20m mostly playground-type areas, the water zone, and the Bauernhof area. The rest was for taller kids. Still, we had a great time, and my daughter enjoyed the whole day. There's a restaurant with a good variety of options and reasonable prices. The only downside was a restroom near the restaurant, it was quite small and not very clean, but the one inside the main building was much better. We went during the school holidays, so it was quite crowded.

this time we were disappointed. Masses of people. Everywhere is full. Where you should look for treasure - there is no treasure or tools left. Treasure hunt near the shells - also empty. Queues in other attractions. Anyway - the park is big, there is a lot of everything. We only went around it in 4 hours. good prices

This is the best playground for kids! I was a little skeptical about the price, but it's absolutely worth it! Imagine a Playmobil village in real life, water games, castle, pirates galleon, amazing! My 3yo really loved it!

Amazing place for our 4 year old. Nice prices for food and drinks inside. For a norwegian, the biergarten was amazing to cool down with a nice bavarian beer.

It was really good experience but check the weather report before you visit. It is a little bit expensive but the faces of children are worth seeing.

Been here several times and I thoroughly enjoy coming here but I wish that they would limit the amount of people coming here. We bought a dayticket and it was packed and we had to leave.. Its supposed to be a relaxing place but today was anything other than that

Don’t believe the negative reviews!!! It is a fantastic place, very clean, with many pools!! Great place to relax and enjoy yourself!! We went on a Sunday morning, believing it would be too crowded, however, the place is so big that we were very comfortable and we loved it! We will come back again for sure! Very good prices comparing to that it offers!

I was there 2 weeks ago. I really enjoyed my time there. It's worth to go there for all day long like I did. It's a perfect place to Relax and everyone find something. During a day they have a lot of different activities.for example 3x per day you can try some face mask. There is a restaurant, food was tasty and bar outside with nice cocktails. All place is nice and clean.

This was easily one of the main highlights of my trip to Germany. I went once during the day and once in the evening - during the day it’s busier but fantastic, and the evening is relaxing and romantic. The prices are fair, the baths are plenty, and I would highly recommend coming here. One of the best spa towns in Germany!

Great spa! We spent 10 hours here and the day just flew by. Interestingly the sauna area is a naked zone and not gender separated so you can enjoy it with your partner. Restaurant was nice as well and very reasonable. Definitely get the full day pass when you come

Friendly staff, food was good. I was surprised to see robot waiters

It’s a fantastic place for relaxing my only problem is that the cocktails are not up to my standards.

Location is the only good about this place. Rooms are really small, I mean REALLY small. I've booked a room with separeted beds, got a double. When I got back the reception, to have it as I booked, the receptionis said this is all the rooms like, sepearate the beds. Yeah, maybe I should bend the space, so it would have enough room for it. We were there for 3 nights, the room never got cleaned. The whole place could use a renovation. Breakfast was ok, not good, just ok. Staff is below ok. For this price it is expensive.

Rooms are very small,, One can’t even comfortably stand in bathroom..Service was not so friendly,, You need buy everything except Toilet papers

The only modern/budget hotel in the old town. Ask for rooms facing the street side (better view) and ending in 15 or 19 (larger). Not the best Ibis shower that I know (they're generally excellent), the shower floor levels with the bathroom (don't wash too enthusiastically), and there's a GREY shower curtain that doesn't let light it (now that's a first-timer!).

My husband and I arrived, during Christmas Market time. The concierge's name was Abdullah, who was very professional, personable and helpful. This hotel was close to the festivities and had underground parking. Parking fee was $20 euro for the parking, which was convenient not trying to find parking elsewhere or the possibility of walking long distances, with suitcases. The room and bathroom were very clean, location mostly quiet (in the middle of the night, there were people smoking and speaking loudly outside, which wasn't the hotel's fault), beds and pillows were comfortable and the temperature pleasant. If one didn't want to eat at the hotel, Cafe Luitpold was nearby with a delicious, fresh and nutritious breakfast. If we would travel again to Bamberg, we would consider this hotel again.

The central location is by far the best feature is this Ibis Bamberg Altstadt - you are just five minutes waking from Altes Rathaus, in the heart of the old town. The installations are very clean and functional. The bathroom is extremely small and they charge for the subterranean parking, which is something I didn’t see in the website. But anyway, in terms of cost benefit, it is definitely well worth.

Everything was great here!!! Breakfast, Clean rooms, quiet warm place, park for additional Euros, but not much. Excellent Staff service as they are very nice and kind. The location is another great item, very close to the most popular city tourist attractions. I do recommend it.

Historic house well located in the center with friendly staff. While rooms are clean and big enough, they lack atmosphere (I guess that can be expected from an Ibis?) and some maintenance (dents in furniture, plastic covers of light switch and remote control broken,...). Breakfast is OK to good, paid parking available and WiFi is slow (unless you pay extra).

Fascinating historical landmark, famous for its unique location. According to legend, the city's citizens built it on an artificial island in the middle of the Regnitz River after the bishop refused to grant them land. It now houses the Ludwig Collection, a museum of porcelain and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

One of the iconic images of Bamburg. Really pretty building and a really scenic view. Detailed decorative architecture and fresco-ish external painting. The best view is from the bridge that shows the front of the building. Which is by the Tower Lots of cool stuff in that area to see as well.

Nice town like little Venice. 🏘️🛶😊 And nice to see the very old Rathaus in between a bridge that cross the river. 🌉🏰😍 Very nice views in town 👍😎✨

Beautiful landmark in the heart of Bamberg. The unique location on the river and the colorful façade make it an absolute must-see.

Very nice! You need to see it at day and night. Just gorgeous.

A well preserved medieval town. We enjoyed our visit to Bamberg.

Probably most impressive looking Rathaus in Germany is also one of the most picturesque buildings. Originally built in 14th century, it was remodeled in 18th century in Baroque style. According to legend, it was built on the river on artificial island because the bishop refused to allocate the land, hence the bridge just straddles Regnitz River. Frescoes are very charming blending medieval and Baroque origins of city hall. Couldn’t resist going in circles around it…

No if you want to get a sense of the towns history visiting the Cathedral and exploring the connected / nearby buildings is a great place to start. We visited on a busy weekend but found it easy to move through the Cathedral at our own pace on a self guided tour. There were people available to answer questions and were were free to roam respectfully. Walking down to the catacomb was also a unique way to get a sense of history through the life of the space, which has had multiple fires. The stonework and scale is massive. I’m told they have music with the pipe organ on Saturdays but don’t know the details. I can only imagine what the massive organ sounds like during services.

Beautiful cathedral. Make sure you go inside and see the only pope remains in Germany. Very cool!

Pope is buried in the back and on the square side door is relief of Jesus return. Worth the visit and cool on top of the hill.

Beautiful cathedral. Fine location to sit and reflect and lots of history! No crowds at all during the week.

We were not able to go inside the cathedral during our visit. Only took some pictures from outside. There was alot of constuction going on. The architecture is exquisite yet somehow feels depressing. Just my opinion. Much more beautiful things to see in Bamberg.

Bamburg Catheredal of St Peter and St George. Construction of the church was completed in the 13th century. Great to visit.

It was much bigger than I realized. Perhaps not as beautiful as other cathedrals but seeing Der goldener Reiter inside was a Highlight.

the new seat of the prince Bishop from 17th century with halls and rooms furnished also in the 18th century like the magnificent Imperial Hall. the visit is only possible with a guide but photos are allowed. amazing Tour

Neue Residenz is the elegant palace building at Domplatz. It is a 40 room Baroque complex which houses the State Rooms and State Gallery along with a charming Rose Garden. Opening hours are 10am to 4pm daily and entry is €6 per adult. The Rose Garden can be accessed freely and affords lovely views of the lower section of the historic centre of Bamberg. Neue Residenz was constructed mostly in the 17th-century and is a fine representation of Austrian-Bohemian Baroque architecture. The State Rooms are highly decorative with outstanding ceiling frescos. The Imperial Hall fresco works by Melchior Steidl (1709) is a masterpiece, probably one of the finest of its kind in Franconia. The State Gallery is where you find European masterpieces mostly from the Baroque period. This makes for a nice art viewing experience as well. Easy to spend 45-60 minutes between the two, make sure to allow another 10-15 for the Rose Garden as part of your visit as well.

Touring the Neue Residenz and its art galleries in Bamberg is insightful and short enough to be digestable as well. The art galleries were thought-provoking. In the Residenz, I appreciated that historical context was given. The furniture and art in the rooms were arranged to convey their original feeling. I enjoyed that it gave me a glimpse into a different time-period. The entrance was inexpensive and the staff friendly. Outside the building, there is a beautiful rose garden with a stunning view over Bamberg. After the tour, I highly recommend a short rest in this garden (no entry fee and accessible without having to tour the building).

The art part of the museum was not that impressive to me, but the 3rd floor intro he residence and rooms was amazing and worth the visit.

A beautiful and historic building again close to the old town. Is right next to the historic old court and Bamberg Cathedral. Although it looks really promising from outside we couldn’t manage time to visit inside. It has a beautiful garden with mostly roses in the inner yard. Next time we would be visiting inside too.

Didn’t go inside, though the interior looks stunning. Just as pretty on the outside with its baroque architecture. Interesting shape too to admire in an L shape enclosing the Domplatz. Right by other sites such as the old court and the Dom. Absolute must visit when in town!

What a wonderful place to visit in Bamberg. The staff throughout the residence are exceptional! They all have a found knowledge of the history, architecture and paintings. Throughly enjoyed my visit here it’s definitely a must in Bamberg. €6 entry a private tour of the private rooms included, make sure you ask what time they are. The tours are only spoken in German, however if you go early enough they might translate to English as well (depending on numbers).

baroque-renaissance residence, place of sitting for the Markgraven. you can only visit with a guided tour, a gothic hall on the ground floor is open freely. the tour is a series of rooms and story of the owners. the place is under heavy renovation works (outside and inside), plans for end 2025 to be reopen without limitations again, but the replica is there to see especially the ceiling rococo in the fest Halle. the place was barely damaged in war so you could actually see original stuff from the 18th century.

The palace offers an engaging visit that can be completed within an hour. Visitors have the opportunity to explore several interesting rooms and gain insightful information about the site. Guided tours are available and provide a great experience; however, they are conducted exclusively in German. For non-German speakers, understanding the full context may be challenging, as the information is presented in a printout sheet, which does not entirely capture the essence of the experience. Also some of the rooms are under repairs and are not visitable. Additionally, the ground floor features a porcelain exhibition, enhancing the visit with an interesting cultural touch.

Visited the castle with the English tour because you can't visit by yourself. The guide was really nice and his English was great too. The castle is really nice though it is not furnished and some renovations were going on. But the guide made the visit much better to be honest!

Really beautiful palace and tour was very interesting. Not as opulent or large as the one in Munich but still quite nice. Parking is on the city street and you have to pay for it.

Excellent visit, not yours at the moment due to covid, but you can walk through the rooms.on your own (although not ally he rooms are open), there is only limited information in English, but staff are really friends, after visiting I went to the gardens across the road

Haven't been inside but outside is interesting. Haven't expected to see such big residence in this small town

Kinda there is something “vibe”.

Very nice and alot of games and many places to set and take a rest . Recommend for all ages and very nice for family.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Kids had an excellent time and did not want to leave. Food options are great and prices are expected to be a bit higher so no surprise there. There a re variety of rides for everyone of all ages. Glad it wasn't too crowded when we visited on 03 July. My favorite ride was the boomerang. Also there a husky friendly rides for my guys who wear a couple XX's in their shirt or waistband. Can't wait to go back next weekend.

Great theme park, food and drink prices not too expensive. Rides are very varied with something for everyone.

In general we had a lovely day there. The park is not that big but offers a wide range of activities for all age groups more suited for families and children. If you are an adrenalin junky you will find a few attractions but not that a variety as in other parks. We liked that there were food stalls and toilets everywhere and the wildlife areas to calm down a bit from the excitement. Some of the attractions seem a bit dated, though they are still fun to ride. The new area that was opened this year (Asia themed) looked nice, but the dragon rollercoaster didn't live up to our expectations. (no real light show or exciting exhibits, could do much better!) If you are looking for a nice family day, this will suit you fine 😉

This is a great day out for a family with attractions suitable for all age groups. The park is well maintained and the layout offers plenty of shade and diversity. This would have been five stars from me if the prices were a bit more moderate. Kids pay full price from 1.40 m size, no family tickets and on site food, drinks and ice-cream are quite expensive. I recommend big families to bring their own food and drink.

Its a strange collection of attractions, some clearly left overs from earlier decades or second hand from other large attraction parks. But, nice atmosphere, green surroundings, not too busy. So, you pick what you like and go over and over again in the same attraction. For younger children lots of fun options. For teenagers too limited. My 13 and 15 year old enjoyed it for a couple of hours, but too few really exciting rollercoasters etc. Prices for food and drinks are high with 3 EUR for a black coffee. Zero vegan options. It's all just s bit out of date or conservative. Maybe exemplary for Bavaria?

Today we visited Geiselwind. We came from the USA and decided to see. Honestly this was one of the best experiences I have had. The rides were awesome, people were friendly. Definitely would recommend for parents with kids or even for adults!

Steep walk up, costs entree fee

Well maintained nice old Marian church

Wonderful place with a lot of history!

Top

Magic

(Translated by Google) An easy climb from the parking lot leads up to Maria im Weinberg. At the top, you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view of the surrounding vineyards and the Main Valley. The church itself is rather plain and not particularly worth seeing, but a closer look at the Riemenschneider Madonna is worthwhile. The fine carving is truly remarkable, and the story of the Madonna, which you can read inside the church, is also interesting. The €2 entrance fee is well worth it. If you're nearby and the weather is good, Maria im Weinberg is a pleasant destination for a short stroll. Not a highlight in itself, but combined with the beautiful landscape, it's definitely worth it. (Original) Ein leichter Aufstieg vom Parkplatz führt hinauf zu Maria im Weinberg. Oben wird man mit einer tollen Aussicht auf die umliegenden Weinberge und das Maintal belohnt. Die Kirche selbst ist eher schlicht und an sich nicht besonders sehenswert, dafür lohnt sich aber ein genauer Blick auf die Riemenschneider Madonna. Die feine Schnitzkunst ist wirklich bemerkenswert, und auch die Geschichte der Madonna, die man in der Kirche nachlesen kann, ist interessant. 2 Euro Eintritt sind zu verschmerzen. Wenn man in der Nähe ist und das Wetter mitspielt, ist Maria im Weinberg ein nettes Ziel für einen kleinen Spaziergang. Kein Highlight für sich, aber in Kombination mit der schönen Landschaft durchaus lohnenswert.

(Translated by Google) There's not much to see! Charging an entrance fee, well... perhaps something very special for believers, but still borderline. There's no restaurant on site. The exterior of the complex is not well maintained, and the interior is nothing special either... (Original) Gibt wenig zu sehen! Dafür Eintritt zu nehmen, naja… für Gläubige vielleicht was ganz besonderes, dennoch grenzwertig. Ein Lokal vor Ort fehlt. Die Anlage außen nicht gut gepflegt, innen auch nichts besonderes…

Great mark with playgrounds and animals. Really nice and clean. No entrance fee. Dogs on a leash allowed. Definitely recommend!

Very nice “Wild park”, and even more crazy that it's completely for free! You can walk in and enjoy the animals and the lovely park. In addition, they also have a considerable amount of nice playgrounds for all ages.

A great place to get your exercise and make family memories. There are sections that were not here the last time I was here so make sure you have a lot of time because there is a lot to see. Also a great place to let your children run all of their energy out!

Very nice place for kids!

Great place for kids of all ages. Free entry. You can buy animal food in vending machines (they take 50 cent coins only). The animals, especially dear, moose etc., jave wonderful huge enclosures. Multiple playgrounds and a kids pool/water play area. Right now the various viewing platforms are closed off due to covid. Take bug spray. Easy to spend 2 hours, more if staying at tje pool or playgrounds!

A lot has changed over the years. Coming here since I was a child, so for the last 30 years. And I have to say I could see so much improvement! It's a great place for the whole family. Go for a walk, visit the animals, pet and feed them, go to the playground, play Minigolf, lie in the grass, go in the pool,... Would highly recommend!

Great place for families. Free day outting. Clean and very walkable even for persons with limited abilities. You can feed some of the animals. We have been a few times.

Excellent place for a day in a thermal bath. We spent around 3 hours there, and it felt too short. Please remember that the place is not too big, and they calculate headcount to allow you to enter. When we were there around 1 pm, it was full, and we waited roughly half an hour. Inside, there’s also a cafe, and the same cafe can be also found at the entrance. For the price, the place is excellent!

Full Day ticket at KissSalis, it worth every penny! From varieties of in door and outdoor thermal pools to Saunas, beautiful and child friendly setting. Please add Pomes to the menu 😋

Absolutely lovely place. What must be clean is clean. Just relax and warm yourself. I attended alone and brought my father. He liked very much as I did!

Truly fantastic spa day experience right in beautiful historic Bad Kissingen - this spa has so many perks ✅ Salt bath just float away your troubles ✅ Huge big spa bath ✅ Family friendly ✅ totally affordable- 7€ per hour ✅ Lovely sun “ruhe” room with floating rocker chairs ✅ sauna room (I do believe it’s extra) ✅ plenty of parking but it’s also a bus stop for the city bus too ✅ Food is amazing 🍽 - with vegetarian options too Lovely lovely day

A great place to relax with family or friends, offering multiple pools at different temperatures. I visit frequently and sometimes use the sauna, which has various types with different temperature levels. There is also a relaxation area upstairs with hanging chairs and spectacular views of nature. It’s important to note that this is a nude sauna. If that makes you uncomfortable, it’s best not to pay the additional fee. Additionally, there is a floating pool with a high salt concentration that allows you to float effortlessly. Many people don’t know that there is a Dampfbad (steam bath) upstairs, which is free to use and doesn’t require an additional fee. The facility is wheelchair accessible, and there is even a dedicated pool for people with disabilities. As for dining, the ice cream is delicious, and you can sit indoors or outdoors. The food is quite good considering it’s a pool, spa, and relaxation center. Overall, the atmosphere is excellent, and the staff is friendly and professional.

Beautiful place. Very relaxing, especially nice to visit at night. Good stellplatz camper van overnight parking too. Food good in restaurant. A favourite stopping over spot on our drives south.

We spent 2 hours in this thermal bath. Very nice place for family, and also has a quiet place. I have had eczema in my hand for years which keeps coming back. After one day here my skin improved and healed so very fast, less that 24 hours. Our stay here was only 1 night and I wish we had more time to stay longer for my skin’s complete healing. I will definitely return and plan to stay longer in this beautiful and quite town for relaxation time and healing.

The decorations were wonderful, and the optical illusions on the ceiling were so impressive that I could have mistaken them for real sculptors. I took a guided tour in English, and they explained every detail, which was very educational. Towards the end of the tour, there were photos of the building that were devastated during World War II, and I was impressed by how well it had been restored.

An absolute masterpiece — easily one of the most breathtaking palaces in all of Germany. The Würzburg Residence is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks the moment you walk in. Even if you’ve visited other European palaces, this one has a unique elegance — a perfect blend of Bavarian grandeur, Italian influence, and French sophistication. The scale, the symmetry, the attention to detail… everything feels world-class. The highlight is undeniably the grand staircase with Tiepolo’s famous ceiling fresco. It’s massive, vibrant, and so full of movement that you could stare at it for ages. The fact that it survived WWII feels almost miraculous. Every room that follows — from the mirrored hall to the intricate salons — feels like stepping deeper into a story where every wall, every frame, every piece of décor has something to say. The flow of the visit is smooth, the staff are friendly, and the signage makes it easy to understand the historical context without feeling overwhelmed. Photography restrictions apply in some areas, but honestly, that makes you focus on the craft and artistry even more. The gardens are another highlight. Perfectly manicured and incredibly serene, they create a stunning contrast with the palace’s ornate interior. If the weather is good, take your time — the angles for photos are endless. In spring and summer, it’s absolutely magical. Overall, the Würzburg Residence is a must-visit. It’s grand, inspiring, beautifully preserved, and one of the crown jewels of Franconian history. A true UNESCO treasure and an unforgettable experience.

The Würzburg Residence is an absolute marvel—both architecturally and atmospherically. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stuns with its grandeur even before you step inside. The perfectly symmetrical façade, elegant domes, and sweeping gardens immediately signal that you’ve arrived somewhere truly special. Inside, the lavish interiors are almost overwhelming in their beauty. The Baroque and Rococo details, particularly in the chapel and ceremonial rooms, are full of intricate marble, gold leaf, and awe-inspiring ceiling frescoes. You could stand there for hours just admiring the craftsmanship. But what truly sets this place apart is the Residence Garden. It’s a quiet sanctuary right in the heart of the city. The sculpted hedges, fountains, and graceful statues are all arranged with such harmony that walking through the paths feels like stepping into a painting. Whether you’re sitting in the shade of an old tree or admiring the palace from behind a leafy arch, there’s a calming elegance to every corner. This is not just a site for history or art lovers—it’s a peaceful escape where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy beauty at your own pace.

We spent some time in the gardens of the Residenz which you can do at no cost. The place is neatly maintained and you can get stunning views of the huge baroque palace. There's also parking on the other side of the building as well as a free public toilet nearby.

Worth a visit The building is beautiful and monumental. The main room is magnificent: the ceiling is painted, and the staircase is impressive

This is a beautiful place to visit. The opulence is almost overwhelming. It was a little warm inside but not unbearable. The gardens are INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend, very walkable.

This is a unesco world heritage site. Very well maintained especially given that it was damaged during the second world war. The key highlights are the glass room, ceiling art and the gardens. The total visit time would be 2-3 hrs. Do spend time in the gardens. The rooms can feel repetitive after a while with the same greek themed tapestries

This is an interesting fountain monument at Marktplatz. It is the work of Johann Andreas Gärtner (1802). What you see is a 15 metre high obelisk with simple fountain features that seem to operate during the warmer months of the year. There are classical style reliefs on the side of the fountain that appear to have been added in 1881. We visited Würzburg during December. At that time the base and lower level of the Obelisk Fountain were covered up. However, there were lights strung up around the Obelisk that were turned on in the evenings during the Christmas Market, adding ambience to the festival environs at Marktplatz.

Looks truncated.

(Translated by Google) The fountain in the market square I saw this fountain with my girlfriend during a day out in Würzburg. It is a tall stone obelisk, located within the market square, with a fountain at the base. The support, with a square base, houses taps that are always open from which water constantly flows and collects in small shell-shaped containers. When all the stalls are present it is not easy to see the lower part. (Original) La fontana di piazza del mercato Ho visto questa fontana con la mia ragazza in occasione di una giornata a Würzburg. Si tratta di un alto obelisco in pietra, situato all'interno della piazza del mercato, con una fontana alla base. II supporto, a base quadrata, ospita dei rubinetti sempre aperti da cui sgorga costantemente l'acqua che si raccoglie in piccoli recipienti a forma di conchiglia. Quando tutti i banchetti sono presenti non è semplice scorgere la parte bassa.

(Translated by Google) It's not every day that you see an obelisk and it fits perfectly into the surrounding Marienmarktplatz. Unfortunately, the market stalls are very close to the obelisk, making a free photo almost impossible. (Original) Einen Obelisken sieht man nicht alle Tage und dieser passt toll in den umliegenden Marienmarktplatz hinein. Leider sind die Marktstände sehr nah an dem Obelisken, wodurch ein freies Foto fast unmöglich ist.

(Translated by Google) Wow, what's the obelisk doing here? Interesting, historic. The focal point of the market square and a good meeting place. (Original) Wow, was macht der Obelisk hier? Interessant, historisch. Mittelpunkt des Marktplatzes und guter Treffpunkt.

(Translated by Google) Very nice, good location in the old town. (Original) Sehr schön, gute Lage in der Altstadt.

(Translated by Google) The fountains in Würzburg have dried up in winter, but the obelisk from the times of secularization and classicism proudly towers over the colorful, decorated and pre-Christmas glowing stalls of the Christmas market. (Original) Die Brunnen in Würzburg sind im Winter versiegt, aber der Obelisk aus den Zeiten der Säkularisation und des Klassizismus überragt stolz die bunten, geschmückten und vorweihnachtlich leuchtenden Buden des Weihnachts-Marktes.

Excellent place to stand and people watch. The were having a fair so the town was overflowing with beautiful people. The promenade along the canal is perfect for a lovely stroll and a glass.

Great place for a pedestrian bridge. Watch the locks and dams move boats up and down the river and people from shore to shore. The statues and hanging baskets are a nice touch. The benches are an invitation to enjoy the views in all directions. This is a very historic structure. The bars and rearraunts at both ends are good also.

Würzburg is such a charming city, and this bridge is truly the heart of that charm. Grabbing a glass (or two) of wine and watching the sunset here is an experience you shouldn’t miss. The atmosphere is amazing — people chatting, laughing, enjoying the moment together. It’s lively but relaxed, full of warmth and good energy. Absolutely beautiful and priceless experience! Pro tip: buy some olives from a nearby store and take that hedonism to the max...

One of the most iconic attractions in Wurtzburg, the bridge’s architectural style with massive statues tucked in niches resembles closely with Charles Bridge in Prague. Both are really gorgeous pedestrian bridges with splendid views from the bridge and of the bridge from shores. Similarity continues in number of tourists and locals crossing them. I have had opportunity to cross the bridge in the morning before local winery stand opens and in afternoon. Much more palatable in the morning. After wine stand opens, the bridge becomes really congested and hard to cross.

This is the main attraction of Würzburg. In the evenings, many locals and tourists gather. Everyone tastes the famous local wine. Beautiful views of the city, the fortress and the river. You don't want to leave this bridge!

One of the most breathtaking spots in Würzburg — absolutely surreal views! The bridge next to the Rathaus is hands down one of the city’s highlights. Standing here gives you this postcard-perfect view of the old town on one side and the Marienberg Fortress towering above the vineyards on the other. When the sun hits the castle in the late afternoon, the whole scene looks unreal — like something out of a fantasy movie. It’s also a great spot for photos. You get wide angles of the Main River, the historic skyline, and that classic Würzburg charm all in one frame. Whether you’re shooting on an iPhone or a pro camera, this bridge basically does the work for you. There’s usually a lively atmosphere with people enjoying a drink and soaking in the view, but it never feels overwhelming. If you’re exploring Würzburg, this is the place you must stop — the kind of view you remember long after the trip.

A beautiful historic spot right in the heart of the city! 🍷 The perfect location to enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the stunning view of Marienberg Fortress. Full of charm and atmosphere — truly unforgettable! ✨

One of the best strolls in the area : crossing the bridge and leisurely walking up to the fortress in the midst of vineyards. Strongly recommended the castle tour and enjoying the view from the top gardens.

I’ve hiked to the fortress crossing Alte Mianbrucke bridge and going gradually on Zeller Strabe and via chain of town gardens culminating in ascent to back entrance of Marienberg Fortress (with benefit of sightseeing much more than the forest). Given limited amount of time, I have not chosen interior tour, but full loop around the fortress afforded beautiful town and nature views. Returning back to the town via main entrance to the forest was quick and easy descent.

Worth a visit, even while renovations are underway. At the moment the main part of the fortress isn't accessible, but the museum is still well worth the ttrip. If using public transportation, take the #9 line to get as close to the main entrance as possible.

The Marienberg Fortress offers a fantastic view over Würzburg and looks beautiful from the outside. Unfortunately, there is currently a lot of construction work going on, so a large part of the area couldn’t be visited. We only stayed outside and didn’t go inside, so I can’t comment on the interior. The parking fees were quite high, so I would recommend walking up from the old town instead — it’s a nice way to enjoy the scenery!

We have just enjoyed a very pleasant and interesting visit to the fortress. The steady climb up from the river provided nice views. Although the fortress is undergoing major renovations until 2032, the museum in the former arsenal was worth a visit, especially for the exhibition on the peasants war for which this year is the 500th anniversary. Being a Sunday admission was only 1 euro each! During the renovations, tours of the main part of the fortress are by guide only, tickets from the visitor centre in the new courtyard. At this time of year (November until Spring) tours are in German only. However, as we were the only two people signed up for the 14:00 tour, the guide was able to do it in English. This was very informative and personal. Our thanks to the lovely guide for this. During the refurbishment, the cafe etc is closed, but there is a kiosk selling cols drinks and hot snacks, plus machines for hot drinks. Overall, well worth a visit!

A fortress wrapped in history — and home to some of the most unforgettable views in Würzburg. Even though Festung Marienberg was partially under renovation during our visit, the experience was absolutely worth the climb. In fact, the construction almost faded into the background the moment we started walking up the hillside paths surrounded by vineyards and those classic Würzburg panoramas. When we reached the top, everything was covered in thick fog — the kind that makes the whole place feel mysterious and ancient. The fortress walls, towers, and archways appeared like shadows in the mist, and honestly, it added such a cinematic touch. We thought we’d lost the view for the day… but then, a few minutes later, the fog slowly opened up. And that’s when the magic happened. The entire city revealed itself beneath us — the river, the old town rooftops, the bridges, and the rolling hills. It felt like watching a curtain lift on the most beautiful stage scene you can imagine. The contrast between the fog and the suddenly crystal-clear panorama was surreal. You could feel the whole crowd around us go silent for a moment, just taking it in. Even with renovations, the fortress remains a must-visit. The atmosphere, the history, the climb, and especially the views — everything comes together perfectly. If you’re in Würzburg, you simply can’t skip this place. And if you’re lucky enough to catch the fog lifting like we did, you’ll remember that moment for a long, long time.

The path to fortress is incredible and the view from top along with Main river view reminded me of Prague and the bridge resembling some what to Charles bridge. The red roofs and architecturally decorated view was splendid. I would definitely go again.

Very nice outlet shopping village, well decorated, almost all branded shops are there, plenty of free parking space. Food in the Italian restaurant is also tasty.

It is for sure very nice looking outlet, but almost impossible to find some really good offers as in some other outlets, prices are pretty high in general, so do not expect some great shopping deals.

Nice place for shopping, multiple brands and should check online for offers, sometime really good offers will be there but in general prices here are not much difference between other places except offers. Nice place and location.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wertheim Village is a fantastic destination for outlet shopping — clean, beautifully designed, and home to a wide range of premium and luxury brands. Whether you’re here for fashion, accessories, or homeware, there’s something for everyone. One standout feature is the excellent concierge service. You can have your shopping bags sent directly to the concierge for collection later, which makes for a much more comfortable and hands-free shopping experience. It’s a thoughtful touch that adds real convenience, especially if you’re planning a full day here. The facilities are equally impressive. The toilets are beautifully maintained and clearly built with comfort in mind — spacious, clean, and even stylish, which is rare for outlet malls. Overall, Wertheim Village delivers a premium shopping experience that’s a cut above the usual outlets. Highly recommended for a day of relaxed, high-quality retail therapy.

A lot of stores. Not bad discounts. There are a few restaurants but when it’s too hot outside unfortunately doesn’t have anything with air conditioning where you can sit and eat. Parking space is free and that is a big big plus.

The place to buy quality stuff, its a market of world top brands , and sometimes if you are lucky and have some sale on some store, it makes your day because you get super quality stuff for a very very reasonable price, my favorite market 😀

Great outlet shopping experience. This outlet is a bit far away from the Frankfurt CBD area if you take a train and bus to get there. Luckily, I found and booked their shuttle bus to get there; it was so convincing. The only comment for their shuttle bus is that the return time is a bit early, at 3:25 PM. This is a beautiful countryside outlet, with a nice view, and many famous shops with great discounts. Their Italian restaurant is quite good. But their waffle shop at the corner is a nightmare; it is cold and not good. And during the trip with the shuttle bus, you can also see a fantastic view.

Great views of the valley and good food in this interesting location. I had the Schweitzer Wurstsalat which was pretty good, but the vinaigrette was a bit weak. My wife enjoyed pepper garlic cream soup that was quite good. We finished off with Apfelstrudel with vanilla sauce, which was also good.

Really nice view and delicious food. Perfect place for small October dinner 🤤

Although in ruins it is still a majestic Castle over the pictoresque town of Wertheim. One might feel sick when on the top of the tower but the view is worth climbing up.

Very nice place to spend some time with the family or the friends. There you can find also a place to eat or to have a drink. Also the city of Wertheim is very nice to make a walk, drink a coffee, eat an ice cream. :)

Great view of the city, good local German food :) will back here again

Wow. Just wow. This is a must visit place. The view is amazing. Plus we saw a CONCERT in the castle courtyard.

Good little broken castle with a nice view. Not wheelchair or stroller friendly tho, but still good. 2 euro per person.

Toskana Therme in Bad Orb is a lovely place to relax and unwind. The saltwater pools are a real highlight—no chlorine, just soothing, mineral-rich water. The food was excellent, and the prices were reasonable, making for a good overall experience. However, there were a couple of minor downsides for me: the water temperature in the outdoor pool could have been a bit warmer, and there weren't enough chairs for the number of guests. Additionally, the area around the pool could use a little more attention in terms of cleanliness. Despite these small issues, it's still a place I would visit again if it were closer.

Despite I am not a big fun of thermal baths I think this one is a nice one. Very new, modern and well organized. Unfortunately the swimming pools are not very big and it tends to be quite crowded especially at peak hours. The inside restaurant does not have a huge variety of food and it is quite basic. There is a very large sauna area with many different types of sauna although you need to be prepared to be totally naked to enjoy 😀. Overall a nice experience!

Nice place to spend the week-end. The pools are heated, indoor and outdoor. It would be nice to have some places to dry the bathrobe and the towels ... It was a music and light festival on Saturday, the 5th of October 2023. Nice athmospere!

I really enjoy the swim hall very much. However, tonight, the bubble machine (pumps) were not operational. Part of the enjoyment of the warm salt water is the water features. This particular evening, the music was excessively loud, even in the sound room.

To everyone who is ok with an average spa which is also focused on a normal swimming pool atmosphere this is the place to go. To everyone who is used to a more intimate, quiet and luxurious experience this spa is not recommendable. Showers and clocks are broken, toilets aren't clean, sauna area is crowded at least at the weekend (even though late in the evening).

A beautiful place with a pleasant atmosphere and an excellent spa.

I’ve been to many saunas and thermal baths before, this one didn’t impress me. Thermal baths were great, we could swim in 2 indoor pools, chill in the jacuzzi and enjoy swimming outdoors surrounded by nature. Sauna area was not so nice. Several saunas were closed. We could only go to 90 and 55 degree sauna and hamam. No cold pool where you could cool down after heat. Jacuzzi had a barely warm water instead of hot. Showers are really uncomfortable to use because the water stream is literally hitting you while changing from hot to ice cold all the time. No shower gel provided. Small details are missing. We also had to decide on and pay for the time of staying before going in. 2 hours 20€, 4 hours 26€ per person. If you stay longer, you have to pay extra for every 30 min. Overall it was okay. But you could feel that there is no soul in it.

Fun little day trip! Castle has an interesting history and excellent art collection. The area around the palace is also an enjoyable walk.

The architecture of the cathedral is amazing, the court yard is massive. There is s cute little town once you climb up the steep road. Must visit.

A beautiful palace with stunning architecture and a view of the Main River! You can feel the historical atmosphere everywhere. Perfect for a relaxing walk or taking great photos.☀️

Beautiful schloss but it partly was being renovated, 3.10.25. Walk around the schloss and or walk down towards the river! Wow. There is a quiant museum also worth while.

Totally fair — it’s one of those places that stirs up thought because of its strange in-between identity: once German, now Polish; once a town, now more of a quiet regional spot.

Beautiful building with a fabulous museum inside. It’s situated at the Main river. So you have beautiful sights.

The walls by the main entry are currently under reparations, but the view is very nice from other areas like the Pompejanum. It has a few interesting things to check, especially the art collection and the archbishop of Mainz religious clothing. It is worth to pay 9 EUR to combine the entry to this place and the Pompejanum also.

Beautiful townhall building! Nice and cozy environment

Michelstadt is indeed an old town and well worth a visit it goes back to the medieval days, it has a synagogue that you can visit, the once a thriving Jewish community but not since the 1930s , the town pavements are covered in Stolperstein which little cobblestone with the name of the people arrested, deported, and murdered by the Nazis I would recommend a visit to the town

This lovely 15th century building is the main landmark of Michelstadt. Located in the old town area, this building housed the town administration until 1920.

We always bring visitors here. It is 'gemütlich' and there are good restaurants around it

This was during the Eastern market that they have on the weekends around Easter. It's fun they sell some food it isn't big like a Christmas market. But it is a fun place to go and has a festive atmosphere and all the shops are open even on Sunday. They sell some brats and some snitchel some ice cream and things like that

Absolutely gorgeous town. Specially in the snow!! The Christmas market is also magical. Get lost in its streets and discover beautiful building and friendly people

As a Filipina who loves Fairytales Cartoons movie, I always dreamed to see tmreal Castle. But then I Started to love old culture Cities. This City is one of my favorite in my list, which I was so inlove in this town and dreaming to have my next home here. Middle age is here to found! Rathaus was built on 1484 which facinated me that until this Generation this house still standing after many years!

Very well maintained castle. It is great to visit with kids, specially when there are medieval markets or other events. I suggest in case of castle events, to get there early as it can be difficult to find a parking spot later kn the day. The views from the high tower are awesome!!

It's a good place to visit with a great view from the tower and even from the ground. They have events right now and it feels like it takes you back in the medieval time. There's some shops and stores. The cafe in the Castle also offers various delicious cakes. It's family friendly, alot of activities for kids.

Been here many times. Was just something to do on a rainy day today. Historically interesting, nice views. Beer garden and restaurant.

We came here for the Christmas market and it just may be my favorite Christmas market. It's set in a medieval castle and the market expands from outside to all inside the castle. Very cool! Has a very authentic medieval market feel and lots of homemade gifts, lots of things you wouldn't find at traditional markets. Lots of people dress up in medieval attire which was also cool. Lots of really good food options as well. The market is only open certain weekends, so plan in advance!

The castle is highly recommended for a visit, offering a well-preserved historical site with numerous exhibits and educational opportunities. Weekend activities, including stone carving demonstrations and bird shows, are regularly scheduled. The castle also hosts various festivals and markets, enhancing the visitor experience. We advise consulting the castle's website for upcoming events and encourage a visit.

We visited the medieval market at this place. The best experience was to see all the attendees wearing the medieval costumes , which gives a feel how this place would have been running during the medieval period. Big ground available for car parking. The market was also big and good place for the kids to enjoy and have fun.

We really enjoyed Ronneburg Castle, especially during Walpurgisnacht, where witches, fairies, jesters, and many characters from fairy tales and the Middle Ages come to life. There was a market with a variety of goods, all stylized to fit the medieval theme. At the market, you could also taste cherry beer and sausages - there was something for everyone! You could also enter the castle and walk up the stairs, where you could eat onion soup or simply enjoy tea or coffee with cake. There were also many activities for children, such as a carousel, archery, and face painting. The tower was particularly memorable, as it offered a breathtaking view that was worth waiting in line for about 20 minutes.

I was a guest in the hotel but can not recommend staying here, while the location is excellent, there is little sense of hospitality. When we arrived we asked if we could get a table for dinner. We were told they were all booked out. We did not find anything else we liked in the area, and we had our eyes on the pepper steak on the menu here so we tried our luck again at the restaurant. There was a table free outside, which said it had been reserved for 19h but at this point it was well past 20h and the table was still empty. We said we were guests at the hotel and we were promptly told we can not be seated at the table. We ended up ordering food elsewhere and sitting on the bench in the square, to eat on our lap. The entire time, the table at the Goldener Engel stayed EMPTY. Very inhospitable!!! The rooms are clean and spacious, few extras not even water. Breakfast was sparse if you could even get to it - unfortunately it's tucked into a tiny corner and there's room for one person at a time. Not an ideal stay. I expect more welcoming service from a hotel really! very unfortunate.

Traditional German Gasthof. Comfortable rooms, though the bathrooms are on the tiny side. Good food in the restaurant. The tables outside, on the central marketplace, are the BEST you can choose for a drink.

Excellent suite (aqua) and super lush breakfast. Friendly relaxed staff. Lovely location in middle of old town. Highly recommend.

We called in our desperate need Hotel Goldener Engel, explained our situation (no Tesla Destination charger in the nearby booked Michel Hotel, while google said it was), if we please could charge a few % (we said we wanted to pay ofcourse) but the Goldener Engel Hotel said no: it was only allowed if we booked a room. While we walked around, with our two tired little children, to look for help from anybody, we saw outside that the Tesla charger at the Goldener Engel Hotel wasn't used at this moment.

Absolutely adored this hotel. Romantic and quiet location, clean rooms, loved the vegan breakfast options. 10/10

Wonderful dinner and wine with my corporate team here. Never eaten in a building from the 1700s. Surreal experience. Made the food and drink that much more enjoyable.

Nice location and very friendly staff. Room is nice and very clean but quite small. Restaurant is excellent, food simply delicious!

That was the best museum that I've ever seen. Fossils, ancient Egypt, Knight armours, various minerals and stones, amazing tiffany glass examples, stunning old jewelleries, ancient Rome miniatures and more... It was absolutely amazing. 3 floors took my 3 hours and I could've stay even more.

It is a huge museum having 7-8 sections ranging from science, arts to history. The hardwork of workers in preserving the biological samples is admirable. You can come with kids to give them a good insights into different subjects. It is fantastic museum.

Absolutely wonderful place. Everyone should be visit this museum when gone to Darmstadt.

Excellent natural history museum with interesting mineralogical and zoological collections in addition to a range of works of art from both the ancient and modern world. In my opinion the heart of the museum is in the collection of fossils from the nearby Messel site, as they are incredibly well prepared and presented.

A surprisingly fulfilling museum with interesting exhibits in all areas ranging from art and history to the natural world. Be sure to reserve a good three or more hours for this place if you want to get round everything, as it has a vast collection - especially of art. The Max Liebermann exhibition was on when I visited. This was one of the best parts and was a well put together exhibition with interesting pieces. Most of the descriptions of the pieces are in German but this didn't reduce any of the entertainment for me. One kind employee even had a nice chat with me about the permanent collection. Entry is cheap and discounted for students so I undoubtedly recommend a visit as I believe it's one of the most interesting places to visit in Darmstadt!

We came for the art deco section and especially the jewelry part. This is the best display of jewelry I have ever seen. And the rest of the museum is also excellent. Beautiful pieces and excellently displayed. A must see for everyone. Very helpful security, especially in the art deco section where we were pointed towards the available drawers with even more jewelry.

Very interesting exhibits in an amazing beautiful Museum Hause in the heart of Darmstadt town... Enough time is required for visiting every exhibit with no rush, at least 2 to 3 hours. A café is also here to sit and enjoy a pause in between or after the visiting... A good museum for adults with children ....

Located in a sleepy same-named town Lorch, the Abbey itself is not a must see, it is not amazing, it is not impressive, one might wonder why is it listed as a world heritage site? But this place has a certain ambience, an aura if you will, that is hard to describe - it’s peaceful, calm and unbelievably picturesque! Also it is surprisingly a great place for relaxation! The entry is free to the premises of the Abbey, however if visitors want to visit the chambers of the Kings Hall, a guided tour ticket must be purchased. Unfortunately the tours are available only in German (if you want English, you need to contract the place in advance). Luckily the staff here was very friendly and welcoming, therefore they let me join the German tour to visit the chambers only, free of charge! Very much appreciated! The whole area of the Abbey is very well preserved and maintained, it is neat and clean, especially the pitch-perfect grass is very inviting. In the nearby museum, where guided tour tickets can be purchased (payments possible with card), some English brochures with explanations about this place are available. Many restaurants and cafes are lined up on the road leading to the main square, therefore plenty of choice of food. Train station is approximately 10 minutes away by foot. Recommended If you pass by, however I would not plan this as a main destination. Visited in August 2022.

The "Königshalle" belongs to UNESCO world heritage now. Researchers are still not sure what its exact purpose was back in the times. But one thing is sure it was built 764 & still stands. The top level, only to be seen with a guide, has still wall paintings from different centuries.

We had a great guide how gave us all the information he could, based on the facts already discovered by the archeologists. The place is beautiful and perfect for family, and the history is very interesting

This UNESCO site was once as important as Rome. The unique striped gatehouse was a medieval billboard showing the abbey's power. In the herb garden, they still grow all 72 plants mentioned in a 9th-century monk's medical manual - including some now-rare varieties.

Great little Abbey with a large history that one should visit. The grounds are well kept and staff is knowledgeable. They have tours that operate in various languages. There is a museum nearby that sells various items of historical context, however, a bit warm inside the museum during the summer months; recommend going on a nice cool day.

There's a nice walk around the garden near the abbey where you can learn about local plants and enjoy the beautifully maintained architecture.

Walked around the place a bit. Didn't end up doing a tour. Beautiful little town and the abbey is nice too.
