The Danube Gorge is a stunning region along the Bavarian section of the Danube river characterized by impressive 131-ft. cliffs, and is a popular destination for hiking and boating enthusiasts. It offers splendid views with an array of colors from green trees, blue or dark waters to white grey cliffs, pink or yellow flowers making it a fantastic place to explore. This beautiful location is highly recommended for day trips, boat cruises and outdoor walking amidst peaceful surroundings with relatively low crowds.
Amazing sightseeing, peaceful area. The roundtrip ticket price for the ship was 19.5 euro, but it worth it. During the excursion, they give nice details about the river and places around it in english and german. Just relax order a drink and enjoy the moments.

Liberation Hall

Mentioned on

Cultural landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Liberation Hall, also known as Befreiungshalle, is a grand monument situated on Michelsberg hill. It was commissioned by King Ludwig to honor the victories in battles against the French during the Wars of Liberation from 1813 to 1815. Constructed with local limestone, this monumental temple features allegories of Germanic tribes.
On our winter road trip to Berlin, we made a delightful stop in Kelheim! Despite the chilly December day and gentle snowfall, the exterior of the Liberation Hall took our breath away. Its impressive size and beautifully sculptured walls were truly captivating. We have very peaceful moments while admiring the structure. A perfect little gem to explore on the way! ❄️🏛️❤️

It's lovely inside, but mainly it is in German. So I could only use Google translate and also read up online to understand it. The walk up to the top of the dome is a very narrow stairs but the view up in the dome is superb. Giving a 4 stars, cos I couldn't understand German.
MJ L — Google review
This place is impressive. It’s a gigantic hall where you feel like a tiny person. The main hall was spectacular and huge. I’ve never seen something this big before. It was a bit scary to feel so little. You can also climb at the top to get a view over the horizons. The climb isn’t easy and the stairs are narrow but it is worth it for the view. The park around the monument is also pleasant to have a walk. It’s quiet and peaceful.
Melanie M — Google review
Wonderful architecture and views from the top. Restaurant next to the ticket office. It wasn't crowded and if you take your own food/drinks you can have a picnic and enjoy the sun.

A great place to visit, even though it doesn’t feature any special exhibitions or temporary displays. The surrounding area is very attractive. However, we were disappointed to find that both of the shortest walking routes to the Danube River were closed, without any clear reason.
Daniel B — Google review
Really cool monument. Typical of mid 19th century early German nationalism. Great views of the Danube.
Patrick F — Google review
This place can be a lot of work to get to if you park at the bottom however it felt great making it all the way to the top! Lucky for me the rain held off and was a good hike. Inside the liberation hall which you have to pay to enter just go to the visitor center. But it has some gorgeous views from the top! Definitely a must! Lots of history marked in here.

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled along the picturesque Danube Gorge, Weltenburg Abbey is a historical gem that dates back to the 600s, making it one of Germany's oldest monasteries. Founded by Celtic missionaries, this enchanting site not only boasts stunning architecture but also houses what is believed to be the world's oldest operating brewery, established in 1050.
Beautiful Abbey and delicious food! Take a relaxing boat ride down the Danube and visit the oldest monastic brewery in the world (2nd oldest brewery overall but the oldest owned by monks)! Wonderful walking paths and beautiful sights to see.
Philip S — Google review
Good to visit both by ship - picturesque views of the Danube river. With car - there is a parking near. A part of Nature 2000. A very beautiful Church. There is also a museum. Delicious food. A bit crowded on weekends. I would recommend visiting on weekdays. Don’t forget the bathing suits.

Lucky to have been introduced to this place by a colleague. It's a bit hard to get here by public transportation. Beautiful place, exquisite views with one of the best draft beer i have had in Europe (or maybe i was just tired after the hike 🤪). Definitely visit this place if you can!

The Abbey itself is stunning! We enjoyed walking the beautiful grounds, especially down on the banks of the Danube river. Too bad the beer garden is so crowded and the beer itself was not the best monk beer we have had in Germany by far. Overall, glad we stopped by for the gorgeous scenery.
Deanna W — Google review
Everything was good except for the small museum where all the text was available only in German. Cool to buy some beers from the oldest still active abbey brewery! The church was fantastic but you were not allowed to take any pictures in there. Don’t miss the architect who made a copy of himself looking down from the ceiling!

(Translated by Google) In my opinion there are many places with friendly staff. Some with bad and frustrated staff. However, only a few have staff with a service attitude that is simply exceptional. Like here in Kaiserbeck. The young man is bright, witty and charming. He recommends and remembers the guests' food and drinks from last time. His sales skills are impressive to me!! But not intrusive (Original) In meinen Augen gibt es viele Lokalitäten mit freundlichen Personal. Einige mit schlechten und frustrierten Personal. Nur wenige allerdings mit Personal mit einem Serviceauftreten, dass einfach außergewöhnlich ist. So hier im Kaiserbeck. Der junge Mann trumpft mit Aufgewecktheit, Witz und Charme. Er empfiehlt, erinnert sich an Speisen und Getränke der Gäste vom letzten Mal. Sein verkäuferisches Geschick ist für mich beeindruckend!! Jedoch nicht aufdringlich

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately we were only there briefly for an aperitif. Bartender was very accommodating. We also responded to special requests (Lillet Vive). Price performance very fair. Locals come by at 6 p.m. and drink a beer or eat a curry sausage. Good sound. If the dog had gotten water now, it would have been absolutely perfect ;) (Original) Waren leider nur auf einen Apero kurz dort. Barkeeper war sehr zuvorkommend. Ist auch auf Sonderwünsche (Lillet Vive) eingegangen. Preisleistung sehr fair. Kommen um 18.00 Uhr locals vorbei und trinken ein Bier oder essen eine Curry-Wurst. Guter Sound. Wenn jetzt noch der Hund Wasser bekommen hätte, wärs absolut perfekt gewesen ;)

Automobile history museum displaying a chronological collection of antique Maybach luxury cars.
Cool luxury car museum. Learned that Maybach made much more than cars. Definitely worth checking out!
Philip S — Google review
Very interesting but the display of the cars was a bit boring, old fashioned. The artefact and the parafernalia displays were very nice. I wanted to pay with an EU debit card and at first they did not accept it. Once they realized I had no other means of payment it was okay. All by all I have learned a lot about the Maybach company.

consist of one floor and includes the history of Maybach creation and the development through the years till the destruction of the workshop in 1945. the rooms are wide with informations on all the big and luxury Maybach which once existed. motor engines and collectibles are there also to see. a collection of famous express bicycles and motorcycles is there. souvenirs, cafe and a cinema is available. dont miss it.

The museum is great. Anyone interested in old cars and aviation with Zeppelins has come to the right place. Entrance fee of 9.50 euros is just about okay. However, parts of the museum are not heated. Be sure to dress warmly in winter. A room temperature that was 3 or 4 degrees higher wouldn't have been bad. No credit cards accepted, only debit cards. December 2023
O. K — Google review
I guess it is over rated; though there was some nice vintage cars, but the museum is relatively small. I was expecting to see some new cars. There are some interesting facts though, about the bike industry and patents, and also the war tanks industry. The video related to the Hindenburg disaster and the crash of the Zeppelin in the US in 1937, was really touching!
Patrick K — Google review
I expected more cars. The documentary about Zeppelin was interesting.

Although it's a nice little museum with very nice expose, it would be nice, if the lights are switched ON, as it's quite difficult to read about the exhibits in a dark room (even if it's only 2pm)

Wolfstein Castle

Temporarily Closed
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Centuries-old hilltop fort ruins with an excavated moat & chapel, plus guided tours on Sundays.
This is not a pile of rubble marking the ruins of a castle. It is a large complex with multiple rooms, evidence of several levels including a natural ravine/gorge that would serve a similar role like a moat and an extensive outer wall. Considering that it was in full use a thousand years ago it is a fascinating site to explore.
Homer P — Google review
Wolfstein Castle (Burgruine Wolfstein) is a beautiful and peaceful spot that’s perfect for a short hike and a taste of medieval history. Located on a hill above the town of Neumarkt in Bavaria, the castle ruins date back to the 12th century and still have an impressive presence. The walk up to the castle is easy and scenic, taking visitors through forest paths and offering lovely views along the way. Once at the top, the remains of the stone walls and towers give a great sense of what the fortress once was. There's also a viewing platform that offers stunning panoramic views over Neumarkt and the surrounding countryside. It’s free to explore, and while the ruins aren’t large, they have a peaceful charm that makes it a nice place to spend an hour or so. There are also a few benches at the top, perfect for relaxing and soaking in the scenery. Wolfstein Castle is great for anyone who enjoys light hiking, history, and beautiful views. It’s a quiet, less crowded alternative to bigger tourist sites, making it a perfect stop if you’re in the area.
Bobby B — Google review
Took a trek right from the train station as we went there on the weekend and the buses were not operational. It took about an hour to reach the ruins but the journey was worth it. The tower was open, so I could enjoy the breathtaking view. The place takes about 30 min to explore but I would recommend a hike or trek to enjoy the place to its fullest.
Vaibhav P — Google review
It was easy to find parking right outside the little town. It was an easy 5-minute walk to the castle. The only disappointing thing was that there is very little to discover. There is only one plaque that we could find with anything written on it about the castle. And guided tours of the spire are only available on Saturdays. The rest of the castle can easily be explored in under 10 minutes. The best thing about this Castle is the view. You can see the entire valley and distinguish no less than 8 or 9 different towns. It's breathtaking.

Tours of the watch tower are only available on Sunday from 1pm - 5pm at the moment. But I grew up in the 80's and 90's playing the video game Wolfenstein 3D on a PC so had to come have a look. Really spectacular and fantastic views of the local town.

Burgruine Hilpoltstein

Interesting and the start of a nice 1/2 hour walk around the town walls
Fred N — Google review
Hello fellow time travelers! Today I want to share with you my experience of visiting the Burgruine Hilpoltstein, a medieval castle ruin in Bavaria, Germany. If you are looking for a place to explore some history, enjoy some scenic views and maybe even meet some ghosts, this is the place for you! The Burgruine Hilpoltstein dates back to the 11th century and was built by the lords of Stein, who were very influential and powerful in the region. They had good relations with the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire and founded the towns of Hilpoltstein and Freystadt. They also had a lot of drama in their family, like Heinrich III, who tried to become a bishop but failed, or Hilpolt IV, who died without heirs and ended the dynasty . The castle was then sold to the Wittelsbach dukes of Bavaria, who used it as a residence for their widows. One of them was Maria Dorothea, who expanded and renovated the castle in the 17th century. She was also very religious and generous, and donated a lot of money to churches and monasteries. She died in 1639 and was buried in Seligenporten Abbey . After her death, the castle was abandoned and fell into decay. It was used as a quarry and a prison until it was bought by the county of Roth in 1972. Since then, it has been restored and opened to the public . You can visit the castle from April to October and see the remains of the palas, the chapel, the bergfried (donjon) and the ring wall. You can also enjoy a panoramic view of the town and the surrounding countryside from the top of the hill. The castle also hosts some cultural events throughout the year, like a medieval festival in May and a theater festival in August. You can also find a tourist information center, an archive and a community college in the former granary. If you are lucky, you might even encounter some of the former inhabitants of the castle, who are said to haunt the place. Some people have reported seeing or hearing strange things, like footsteps, voices or apparitions. So, if you are looking for a fun and interesting day trip in Bavaria, I highly recommend visiting the Burgruine Hilpoltstein. You will not regret it! And if you do meet any ghosts, please let me know in the comments!

Nice !! A Super cruise around one of Middle Franconian's best lakes (Bavaria/Germany). A top tip= Go on a FRIDAY morning to get the 2 for 1 (adults) tickets for a 1.5hr cruise. Sit up the front if you can. On a sunny day it's relaxing, beautiful & picturesque... take your camera. The evening/sunset cruise is a very good option too.

Bastian W — Google review
Brombachsee is one of the lakes in the Fränkisches Seenland, and perhaps it's the best one. We really enjoyed our hike around the entire lake (Rundweg Kleiner Brombachsee, about 5.5 miles to circle back to your beginning point) on this very pretty autumn day - air was brisk, leaves were very pretty at places (photos) and being near quiet waters always calms my soul. We saw many bikers, hikers, walkers with dogs and even some four-wheel (side by side bike contraption with a roof) carriages along this circle route around the lake. We didn't observe a lot of wild life per se, but there were some on the lake. I think I even saw a large owl flying away in the woods. Does one swan make this lake a "swan lake"? Obviously it's past the busy season now, and it seemed a little desolate, but a café and a beer garden were open. There were many swimming beaches along the way, so I imagine during the warm season (typically only for a couple of weeks in Germany) this would be a great lake-swimming location. Also, there was Wakepark in one of the coves where you can enjoy riding wakeboards being pulled by a leash with some jumping stands. I didn't pay attention to the price posting. It looked very cold with air temperature of only about 46F, so it probably would be better during summer time. I imagine it'll be very crowded then. There were plenty of parking spaces available near the beer garden / camp ground. All-day parking is € 5 here.

Extremely poor hygiene. When we found 💩 poop laying around in the baby-pool, they fixed it by fishing the biggest peaces out of the water. In Denmark the pool would have been closed, emptied, cleansed and THEN reopened. The toilets were not in the locker rooms but rather inside the actual pool room, allowing for you to take a dump and then go straight back into the water, hence having everyone swimming in your rectal bacteria. In Denmark you strictly have to shower once more, using soap, before going back into the water. There were other very low-hygiene issues, but those two mentioned were the worst. So, don't go if you are not in the mood for an infection. If you don't care about hygiene, the place is ok.

I am sorry to say this, however as of now I cannot suggest this place to any of my friends. It is clearly an old place and it looks like it’s not kept up as it is supposed to be. - There is algae in all the outside filters and the inside filters do not look really clean either. - The little “cave” has residue on the walls which makes me feel icky. - The seats were made out of really cheap looking plastic and the metal frames of quiet a few of the loungers are rusty. a. s. o. .. There is no reason to make a special Tripp to this location.

Perfect place for relax, just few people even during the weekend. We enjoyed our time there, swimming and cool poolbar

From the outside the place has great appeal with modern architecture and smooth surfaces, however once inside the age of the building shows. The changing rooms are packed full with changing booths and lockers with little room to maneuver around. There is only one male and one female shower room with 5-7 shower heads. The pool area is cramped with chairs along the edges forcing you to side step past them. The concrete walls show signs of water damage and paint peeling all over. The two indoor “hot” pools were actually mildly warm with only small sections of bubbling water. The area with the children’s pool and area was very nicely layout, however most of the kids were in the main area with their parents in the warm pools. Their behavior and loudness took away from the goal of relaxing. A recommendation for the locker keys and access control to different areas, use a more modern method like a rubber wrist band embedded with a chip that is programmed at front desk. The coin chip works, however placing it in the wrist band holder with the locker key is bulky and requires constant attention to ensure it’s still tight or fastened to wrist. Overall the place is best suited to take your children and let them burn some energy off. This is NOT a place to go if you wanna relax in a hot therme.

(Translated by Google) I really liked the special exhibition “Sand in my eyes” about nomads and their culture in Sudan. Beautifully presented and with lots of information, expressive photos, very interesting. This gave you brief access to a world that little is known about here in Europe. Good thing, because I hope that these ways of life will be preserved for a long time and that people can practice their traditions in peace. I didn't have enough time for the permanent exhibitions at the Shepherd Museum, but I'll come back another time; they also seemed quite interesting. (Original) Mir hat die Sonderausstellung "Sand in my eyes" über Nomaden und ihre Kultur im Sudan, ausgesprochen gut gefallen. Schön präsentiert und mit vielen Informationen, ausdrucksstarken Fotos, sehr interessant. Man bekam so einen kurzen Zutritt zu einer Welt, von der hier in Europa nur wenig bekannt ist. Gut so, denn ich hoffe, dass diese Lebensformen noch lange erhalten bleiben und die Menschen ihre Traditionen in Frieden ausüben können. Für die ständigen Ausstellungen des Hirtenmuseums hat meine Zeit nicht gereicht, dafür komme ich ein anderes Mal wieder, sie schienen auch recht interessant.

(Translated by Google) You can learn about the life of a shepherd. There's also a lot of other information about everything related to herding animals. It's not just about sheep and goats. You also learn about herding cows. You also learn about animal identification and who owns them, as well as about everyday life. It was very interesting. The staff member was friendly and knowledgeable. (Original) Man kann sich über das Hirtenleben informieren. Auch viele andere Informationen über alles was mit hüten von Tieren zu entdecken. Es geht dabei nicht nur um Schafe und Ziegen. Man erfährt auch über das hüten von Kühen. Sowie die Kennung der Tiere und wem die Tiere gehören. Sowie vom alltägliche Leben. War sehr interessant. Die Mitarbeiterin war freundlich und kompetent.

(Translated by Google) German Shepherd Museum - not limited to the topic in Germany, but also worldwide. Also with a part of the local history and natural history museum, because the insight into a blacksmith's shop and a room with everyday and household items from the late 19th to 20th centuries make the visit worthwhile. I was also greeted by a charming lady who gave me tips for excursions, including: to the Hutalmen, and had many stories to tell about Franconia and the shepherd's profession. Thank you very much for the extremely nice conversation! (Original) Deutsches Hirtenmuseum - nicht beschränkt auf die Thematik in Deutschland, sondern auch weltweit. Außerdem mit einem Teil Heimat- und Naturkundemuseum, denn der Einblick in eine Schmiede und einen Raum mit Gebrauchs- und Hauswirtschaftsartikeln aus der Zeit des späten 19. bis 20. Jhd. lohnen den Besuch. Noch dazu wurde ich von einer charmanten Dame begrüßt, die mit Ausflugstipps, u. a. zu den Hutalmen, aufwarten konnte und so manche Geschichte über Franken und den Beruf des Hirten zu erzählen wusste. Vielen herzlichen Dank für das überaus nette Gespräch!

Top! This makes it possible to choose any supplier for the food. You are not necessarily tied to a specific caterer by choosing the location. The museum itself is unique anyway. Be sure to visit! Many thanks to Ms. Lämmermann and Ms. Stein for the relaxed organization. (Original) Die perfekte Location für unsere Corona bedingt verschobene Hochzeisfeier.

It's my second time visiting this complex and I can highly recommend it. This time, I found out that the museum itself has been closed for several years already due to extensive renovations. Unfortunately this wasn't very clear online and when you get there the signage isn't very clear either - we walked right past the containerized ticket booth because when you walk towards the building from the parking lot, you can't see the signage. However, visiting the special exhibition was worth it. It's immensely important to expose yourself to our history - maybe one day we will learn?

Nürnberg Zoo, established in 1912, is one of the largest and oldest zoos in Europe. It is located just a short tram ride east of the city center amidst lush forests in a former sandstone quarry. The zoo houses over 2,000 animals from around 300 species within natural exhibits. Visitors can observe a variety of wildlife including ibex, lions, zebras, polar bears, dolphins, elephants and more in spacious enclosures surrounded by shady trees.
Wonderful Family Day at Tiergarten Nürnberg! We had a fantastic time visiting the Tiergarten in Nürnberg with our family! The park is beautifully laid out, with plenty of space to walk and explore. We saw so many animals – from lions and giraffes to penguins and dolphins – and every exhibit was well-maintained and engaging. Our kids absolutely loved the experience and especially enjoyed the dolphin show and the farm animal area where they could get a bit closer to the animals. The park is also very clean and has good food options and shaded areas for breaks. I highly recommend booking tickets in advance, especially during weekends or holidays – it saves time and guarantees entry. A must-visit if you’re in the area and looking for a fun, educational day out with children!

Nice, clean, and well maintained zoo. The animals seem to be happy, except the tiger, which has too little space. I felt really bad when people kept smoking (many) and throwing things to animals, I wish there were staffs there to educate these people.
LALITA W — Google review
My wife and I visit the Tiergarten for many years at least once a week. It’s easily one of the most beautiful, most impressive zoos in all of Europe. Animals like the harpy, the Mishmi takins, the mossy frogs and the blue tree monitor are endangered species and not easily found in other European zoos. The habitats are intricately conceived to resemble the natural spaces of animals and meet their needs and preferences. Wandering across the vast landscape zoo is simply one of the most entertaining and informative adventures Nuremberg offers.
Barnaby M — Google review
The zoo is located on the mountainside so there is a lot of hiking involved in visiting it. It's also really big and has lots of trees, sometimes you feel like going through a forest only to reach another animal enclosure. There are also some rare animals here like polar bears. The only problem I had with it was the program, the feeding times overlap with other points of the program. I guess it's to have people decide so none of them are really crowded and for the people to avoid running around the zoo, but if you are here as a tourist it kinda sucks since you won't be able to see them all unless you arrive here early in the morning at stay till 4pm

The church features impressive interior artwork and a large organ. Visitors can explore the Nuremberg Old Town with a local expert guide to see four beautiful medieval churches, including St. Lorenz Church, and learn about their unique historical stories.
Absolutely beautiful. Historical cathedrals with their spires, intricate side chapels, and impossibly high ceilings are a must-see for me. I just can't imagine praying in one... I'd be too distracted!

St. Lawrence is the Cathedral Church of Nuremberg with twin bell towers. It is located in Alstadt very center surrounded with many market stalls.

Gothic masterpiece church dominating southern part of old town was built over the period of 2 centuries from 1250 to 1477. It was burnt out at the end of WW2 and reconstructed in 1952. Artwork was preserved in underground bunkers prior to bombings, so wooden rosary with suspended in mid-air figures and stain glass are original to medieval period.

Don D — Google review
St. Lorenz Church is one of the most important Gothic churches in southern Germany and a defining landmark of Nuremberg’s old town. Built between the mid-13th and 15th centuries, it was originally a Catholic church but became Lutheran after the Reformation in 1525. Its twin towers and richly ornamented façade dominate Lorenzer Platz. The church measures approximately 91 meters in length, 27 meters in width, and its towers rise to about 80 meters high — making it one of the largest churches in Bavaria. We didn’t have the chance to go inside, as a concert was taking place at the time of our visit. However, even through the closed doors, the sheer power of the sound resonating from within was striking — a clear reminder of the building’s scale and extraordinary acoustics.
Anna K — Google review
St. Lorenz dominates Nuremberg’s Old Town with its towering Gothic façade and twin spires that seem to pull the eye upward the moment you step into Lorenzer Platz. The intricate stonework of the main portal and rose window is stunning up close, and the scale of the building makes it impossible to miss while exploring the city center. Originally built in the 13th century, the church was heavily damaged during World War II and carefully reconstructed, a reminder of both destruction and resilience in Nuremberg’s history. Inside, it houses important works of art, including Veit Stoss’ soaring wooden Angelic Salutation and stained glass that dates back to the Middle Ages. Even if you only admire it from the square, St. Lorenz offers one of the most striking examples of German Gothic architecture in the region and connects directly to the layered history of the city.

Danny E — Google review
St. Lorenz Church in Nuremberg is a breathtaking example of Gothic architecture that left me in awe. The towering twin spires and the intricate façade draw you in, but it’s the interior that truly captivates. The soaring vaulted ceilings, stunning stained glass windows, and the elaborate sculptures create a space that feels both grand and intimate. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are remarkable, making it easy to lose yourself in the beauty and history of the place. St. Lorenz is not just a church; it’s a masterpiece that speaks to the soul.

The Frauenkirche, also known as the Church of Lady, is a Gothic Catholic church in Nuremberg that dates back to 1362. It is one of the most recognizable churches in the city and serves as a backdrop for the famous Christmas Market. The church's pinnacled brick Gothic facade stands out in the Hauptmarkt, Nuremberg's main square. During Christmas, the festive stalls surrounding the church create a magical atmosphere reminiscent of a European holiday movie.
The Frauenkirche in Nuremberg is a stunning 14th-century Brick Gothic church located on the Hauptmarkt. It's best known for its intricate mechanical clock, the Männleinlaufen, which puts on a daily spectacle at noon, drawing crowds to witness its historical parade of figures. The church's interior offers a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful historical details.
Rob P — Google review
It is the church on main city market square, so it’s guaranteed a lot of attention. Built by 1362 on the site of destroyed synagogue on the order of Emperor Charles IV , this church suffered severe damage in Allied bombing raids in 1945. However iconic facade with mechanical clock has survived and rest of the church was restored by 1955. This clock’s performance at 12pm draws daily stream of visitors to Hauptmarkt. That’s probably also my most vivid recollection from city visit.

The Frauenkirche anchors the Hauptmarkt with its striking Gothic façade, built in the mid-14th century by Emperor Charles IV as an imperial chapel. Its stepped gables and tall tower dominate the square, but what draws the eye is the ornate clock above the entrance. Every day at noon, the Männleinlaufen automaton springs to life, with little figures of prince-electors circling Emperor Charles. It’s equal parts history and spectacle, a reminder that this church was designed to project both devotion and imperial power right in the heart of the city.
E P — Google review
The Frauenkirche, also known as the Church of Our Lady, stands as a remarkable testament to brick Gothic architecture in Nuremberg's historic center. Commissioned by Charles IV in the 14th century, its grand presence on the Hauptmarkt exudes an aura of magnificence over the city skyline. Notable for its intricate sculptures and artworks, including the renowned Tucher Altar, the church's significance extends beyond its architectural splendor. Serving as a venue for imperial ceremonies, it features a modest exterior adorned with coats of arms symbolizing the Holy Roman Empire and other dignitaries. Inside, visitors are greeted by traditional Gothic elements such as a narrow nave and vaulted ceilings, along with treasures from the Middle Ages. Among its most captivating attractions is the Männleinlaufen, a mechanical clock dating back to the 15th century, which comes to life at noon with a procession commemorating the Golden Bull of 1356. Despite undergoing Lutheran conversion in the 16th century, the Frauenkirche continues to enchant visitors with its rich history and cultural significance, making it a must-visit destination in Nuremberg.

The Imperial Castle of Nuremberg, also known as Kaiserburg, is a majestic 11th-century castle complex that includes a royal palace and gardens. Perched on a sandstone cliff overlooking the city, it is divided into three parts: the imperial castle Kaiserburg, noble buildings in Burggrafenburg, and other structures to the east in stadtische Burganlage.
One of the most well kept castles for its size and age. Not a lot of English info so prepare to get the audio guide if you want to know more about the castle. Had fun climbing the tower and the views of Nuremberg were unmatched!
Elle F — Google review
One of the iconic castles of Germany, with loads of imperial connections, and well worth braving the rather steep ascent (the views are great, too). Part of the fortifications that lure you up are actually the city wall, not the castle proper, but the overall effect is what counts. If you are spendthrift, skip the castle interior (interesting, but nor overwhelming), and definitely do not eat there (much better value can be found around the nearby Dürerhaus or in town).
Bernd B — Google review
Definitely worth the price of admission. Lots of walking so wear good shoes. Make sure to check out the bridge near the bus drop-off point for the best view. No photography once you are inside. The castle is fabulous. There are bathrooms and a small Cafe inside. Get there early to avoid the crowd.

The Imperial Castle is the symbol of Nuremberg. Since the Middle Ages its silhouette has represented the power and importance of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and the outstanding role of the imperial city of Nuremberg. From 1050 to 1571, all Holy Roman Emperors resided – at least temporarily – in the Imperial Castle. An archeological exploration of the grounds of the castle has revealed remains of a fortress.

Devil's Cave, also known as Teufelshohle, is a fascinating multi-chambered limestone cave with impressive stalactites and stalagmites. The cave earned its name from local folklore attributing the disappearance of livestock to the devil. Discovered in 1922, it revealed animal remains that had fallen into the cave. Visiting the cave involves navigating through different chambers with tight passageways and low ceilings, making it unsuitable for strollers or carrying infants.
Nice cave, a pleasant guided tour (in German). Inside the cave there are quite a few staircases, be ready you go up and downstairs quite a lot. We were there on a long weekend, it was quite crowded. You buy the ticket first and get a time slot to visit the cave. In our case slots were available in about 30 minutes. The tour lasts about 45 minutes.

We did the 40 minute group tour and found it interesting and informative. It is cold and wet inside so appropriate clothing and footwear is a must. Also, be prepared for a long walk. There is paid parking outside the caves and the max duration to park is 2.5 hours. There is a café at the exit. It also sells a few souvenirs.

The guided tour with the German and English language and the guide was super nice. The ticket price was just 9 euros for adult, it was around 45 mins of tour inside the cave. Once in a lifetime experience for me. Deutschland Ticket works there in Schmetterling Busses. What are you waiting for?

It's wonderful! I'd recommend a guided tour and warm clothes. Not for disabled people. Lots of stairs and tight on several parts of the way. Absolutely worth it. Dogs are allowed.

We visited on a Sunday, early afternoon. It wasn't overly crowded. The tour guide also spoke in English. It was worth the trip. It was a good experience. After exiting the cave, you can enjoy a nice refreshment at the cafe, go for a hike, or visit the coaster park (up the mountain). We were very pleased.

Great fun and very unique cave! The audio- and visual effects inside were fun too - and the exit outside of the cave was almost magical! Really beautiful grassy and moss-covered rock formations and mountain cliffs. Beautiful sight, our kids had fun here!

Love this cave tour however, they play the English language guided tour after the group moves on — kinda rude lol but overall, its a nice tour/hike.

This cave is a Nice place to visit. with Kalk Deposits for over 1000s of years this place is unique to see. Cannot use Kinderwagon, babies need to be carried. Some paths are very very narrow . Only guided tour as per slot (in German) . Parking in Automat. View after the tour was also amazing (autumn season) 9 euro ticket for adults. Will be very interesting for kids.

Erlebnisfelsen Pottenstein

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Summer toboggan run
Water & Amusement Parks
Erlebnisfelsen Pottenstein is a must-visit destination in Pottenstein during the spring and summer. It offers an amusement park experience with toboggan runs, rope courses, and a viewing deck overlooking a forested canyon. This is an ideal way to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Franconia without extensive hiking. The park provides various rides suitable for families, including toboggan runs that offer adjustable speeds and are reasonably priced.
A day trip in Pottenstein can be fun with this experience. It has only 3 rides but all of them were funny and very kids friendly. The tickets costs 4€ for each ride. The que was very long hence buy all 3 tickets together and enjoy!

A fun place to spend a day. You can buy a per ride ticket. That way you can buy tickets only for the rides you are interested in. There is a restaurant and a small ice cream shop inside. Washrooms are available in the premises and there is plenty of car parking space.

Good place to visit with kids, we have spent some nice time being there and enjoyed ourselves. Rides were good and safe for everyone. Restaurant was good but due to heavy crowd the waiting times were too high.

Kids and adults both had fun here! We came here in the morning of a weekend. While the parking was quite crowded, we didn’t have to queue up for each ride. There were more people coming after lunch time though.

The site itself is lovely, the facilities are fun, the view is amazing, there is a comfortable restaurant and convenient parking. But we had an unpleasant experience. We bought 6 tickets at the ticket office - 4 for the roller coaster for all of us (a couple with two daughters) and 2 for the sleds just for my husband and daughter. After we all did the first slide, my husband and daughter went to the sled slide. The line was long but we waited patiently. When it was there turn, my husband already went in with his ticket and when my daughter tried to go up with her, it was listed as having zero balance! Even though the four used tickets were separately in my pocket. Unfortunately, they left the line and went back up. When I went up to the cashier and explained the situation, she acted like I was trying to lie to her. When I realized there was no one to talk to, I bought two more tickets. I wasn't bothered by the money but by the feeling that she didn't even think there was a possibility that there was a problem with them. When my husband and daughter went back to the line, the same thing happened to another father and son... too bad.

Fun time! Rides for all ages so bring the whole family. Best part is free admission! They charge per ride/attraction and the prices are very reasonable. Of Disney charged per ride they'd go out of business but here it's a great working model.
Philip S — Google review
It's your typical amusement park. Not too big, there are a couple of nice rides, nothing too extreme so it's ok even for someone who isn't an adrenaline junkie. The waiting lines are decent even on a weekend.

Surprisingly beautiful hilltop18th Century Baroque Catholic Church (especially the inside!) in the center of a charming small town which is itself centered among a beautiful rocky river valley geography. Plenty of nearby parking (bring €2 coins!). An important Bamburg pilgrimmage basilica built atop existing religious sites in Franconian Switzerland. Also a Pokémon Gym!

(Translated by Google) You should definitely stop by here! The basilica and the garden are simply beautiful and totally idyllic, both to walk around and to sit and linger. There are lots of options in the back to light a candle, which is super nice. And there is even a small shop where you can buy, among other things, rosaries and the like. (Original) Hier sollte man auf jeden Fall vorbeischauen! Die Basilika und der Garten sind einfach wunderschön und total idyllisch, sowohl zum Spazieren als auch zum Sitzen und Verweilen.

Klaus — Google review
(Translated by Google) A great basilica. Together with the medieval, fairytale knight's castle, it shapes the townscape of Gößweinstein. The facade made of bright ocher yellow sandstone is clearly structured. It is dominated by a richly decorated portal and the statues of the diocese saints, Emperor Heinrich and his wife Empress Kunigunde. Inside, the baroque high altar attracts the attention of church visitors. The miraculous image, the destination of pilgrims from near and far, represents the coronation of Mary by the Holy Trinity. A powerful organ sounds during the solemn services, played by a gifted organist. A visit to the neighboring pilgrimage museum is also worthwhile. (Original) Eine großartige Basilika. Sie prägt zusammen mit der mittelalterlich-märchenhaften Ritterburg das Ortsbild von Gößweinstein. Die Fassade aus leuchtend ockergelbem Sandstein ist klar gegliedert. Dominiert wird sie von einem reich verzierten Portal und von den Statuen der Bistumsheiligen, Kaiser Heinrich und seiner Gemahlin Kaiserin Kunigunde. Im Inneren zieht der barocke Hochaltar die Blicke der Kirchenbesucher an. Das Gnadenbild, Ziel der Wallfahrer von nah und fern, stellt die Krönung Mariens durch die heilige Dreifaltigkeit dar. In den feierlichen Gottesdiensten erklingt eine mächtige Orgel, gespielt von einem begnadeten Organisten. Der Besuch des benachbarten Wallfahrtsmuseums lohnt sich ebenfalls.

Burg Rabenstein

Mentioned on

Hotel
Sights & Landmarks
Burg Rabenstein is a charming 12th-century castle offering elegant lodging with vintage rooms, an eatery, and a beer garden. Located just off the highway, it's a perfect stop for travelers. The location is fairy tale-like and offers breathtaking views of boulder formations along hiking trails. Although the restaurant was closed during one visitor's stay, there was still plenty to enjoy. The castle decorations are lovely, particularly on the second floor.
Went on an amazing guided castle tour of the Burg and the cave nearby and watched an incredible falconry show. Great value, beautiful, and a fantastic experience.
William A — Google review
Lovely old castle with nice spacious rooms. The only disappointment was the fact that they notified us by email after we had booked it that the Dining Room would be unavailable for hotel guest for both nights due to a pre-booked dinner and a closing day on the Monday which forced us to drive to the nearest restaurant.
Dieter S — Google review
Hidden gem and a define must visit if you're in the area. There's a restaurant and falconry show just outside the castle, parking is free but inside the castle is where the fun begins. This castle is still in use a a beautiful hotel and it has a great restaurant within it. Beautiful views inside and out. You can purchase tickets at the entrance but they recommend you buy them online. Tours are in German only, but it's still worth it! Throughout the year they have multiple events like medieval markets, dinner shows, whiskey tastings, so you'll want to always go back for more!
Philip S — Google review
They lie on the website. They say Saturday and Sunday: "From 11:00 to 16:15 (continuous)", but when you get to the castle, the tours are on weekdays. We were upset because we chose this place over another, but we didn't want to wait for another tour. Shame on you liars.

I finally stayed at Schloss Ritter, the castle from Gabriel Knight - the Beast Within! It's a wonderful place, very modern hotel rooms despite the castle being 800 years old. very reasonable rates. The front desk lady, I didn't catch her name but remember she was saying her husband is Russian I think and she has 3 boys - she was super sweet and accommodating and really fun to talk to. One negative is that wifi is not great, which I guess makes sense having to go through those thick castle walls.

Leisure Indoor Pool Atlantis

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Swimming pool
Family-friendly entertainment complex with swimming pools, flumes, casual dining & a leisure spa.
Wow, just WOW!!! We were blown away by the size and the number of different water activities and pools here. And to top it off they offer a discount for families on Fridays. The food and drinks were a bit pricey which I understand to make up for how cheap it is to enjoy this magnificent attraction. We arrived at 11 am and spent the entire day here. The lockers were numerous and it was nifty how they have your locker number assigned to on your wristband that allows the parent to charge for food and other services offered at the park. I have been to a couple of other water parks in Germany but none were quite so complete in functionality. Atlantis is by far THEE best water park to enjoy on any day. There is a heated pool outside along with bubbles. There is something for everyone of all ages to enjoy. I will definitely be bringing my family back to this location for the summer and winter if they offer services. They have gain5 a life long customer. The food was prepared very quickly and completely from start of my order and the hospitality of the server was impeccable. I absolutely can not wait to go back again and again to make some core memories with family and hopefully friends. This has been one of the highlights of my trip to Germany so far. I definitely recommend Atlantis to any and everyone. Not to mention the location. It was only a 20 min drive from my home in Hoechstadt. How cool is that. I wish I would known of this place as we have been traveling to Palm Beach in Nuremberg. Not any more.

Nice indoor water park. Good place to spend 3-4 hrs with kids. Great options for adults too which includes steam, sauna and additional massage (extra payment). Nice hot spring pool is my favorite. Slides and play area sounds little boring after few hours.. So there's a scope of making some more fun activities for the kids. But overall good place for all age groups. Nice cafeteria. Ice cream vending machine. Clean showers and changing rooms. Free parking. Nice cute goodie shop. Overall good experience. Pretty reasonable too. Different water activities for different age groups. Small pools, whirlpools, slides, water sports, wave pool etc.

Nice swimming facilities and fun pool for school aged children with lots of climbing facilities. Would be great if water in children's area would be a bit warmer. The water temperature in the toddlers area is good, but the area is a bit small and gets crowded pretty quickly. Nice to swim outside of the building.

Water & Amusement Parks
Virtual reality games, water slides & coasters in a family park with carousels & a boating lake.
This is our favorite park in Bavaria to take our grandchild. Everything about this park is perfect for children up to 9 or 10 years old. There is never a huge line for rides, and the shows are always good. The prices at the concession stands are always reasonable, and there is plenty of seating scattered throughout the park. A day at Schloss Thurn is always fun.

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.
Michael V — Google review
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.

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.

(Translated by Google) German town that has managed to maintain its originality and typicality. Full of alleys, half-timbered houses, squares, churches and a wide main street with many bars/shops. It seems not too affected by mass tourism. You can easily reach the center in less than 10 minutes on foot from the station. It's a shame that the town hall is currently under restoration and cannot be admired. (Original) Cittadina tedesca che è riuscita a mantenere la sua originalità e tipicità. Ricca di vicoli, case con graticcio, piazze, chiese e una via principale larga e con tanti bar/negozi. Sembra non troppo toccata dal turismo di massa. Si arriva facilmente in centro in meno di 10 min a piedi dalla stazione. Peccato che il municipio sia al momento in restauro e non lo si possa ammirare.

(Translated by Google) Really very beautiful. I don't give 5 stars, only because at the time of my visit the facade was partly covered for restoration work and the whole square was losing some of its charm. I promise to return when the work is completed 😉 (Original) Davvero molto bello.

(Translated by Google) The town hall square in Forchheim is considered one of the most beautiful squares in Franconia. The impressive town hall has stood here since 1402 and the picturesque timber-framed facade and the bell tower have been preserved to this day. The historic building is currently being extensively restored. It is worthwhile for visitors to take a walk through the city's 1,200-year-old history with one of the city guides. The three oldest houses date from the 14th century. Forchheim's importance began around 850. A king, Ludwig the German, came to the city for the first time, and others followed. A total of three were elevated to royal status here. Important Reichstags took place here. In 1007 the city was given to the newly founded diocese of Bamberg. A city wall was built around 1300. 80 years later the electoral palace, which can now be visited as the “Imperial Palace” near the town hall. Times were warlike, and from the 16th century the city wall was built as a new, larger fortress. The mighty walls can still be seen in many places today. You feel like you're in the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, some green spaces behind the walls are becoming overgrown. That's a shame, as the facility is a highlight. Too bad. (Original) Der Rathausplatz in Forchheim gilt als einer der schönsten Plätze in Franken. Hier steht seit 1402 das imposante Rathaus und die malerische Riegelfachwerkfassade und der Glockenturm sind bis heute erhalten geblieben.Aktuell wird das historische Gebäude aufwändig restauriert. Für Besucher lohnt es, mit einem der Stadtführer einen Gang durch die 1200 Jahre alte Geschichte der Stadt zu unternehmen. Die drei ältesten Häuser stammen aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Forchheims Bedeutung begann um 850. Erstmals kam ein König, Ludwig der Deutsche, in die Stadt, weitere folgten. Ingsgesamt drei wurden hier in den Königsstand erhoben. Wichtige Reichstage fanden hier statt. 1007 wurde die Stadt dem neugegründeten Bistum Bamberg geschenkt. Um 1300 entstand eine Stadtmauer. 80 Jahre später das kurfürstliche Schloß, das heute als "Kaiserpfalz" nahe dem Rathaus zu besichtigen ist. Die Zeiten waren kriegerisch, ab dem 16. Jahrhundert wurde Stadtmauer als neue, größere Festungsanlage errichtet. Die mächtigen Mauern sind noch heute an vielen Stellen zu besichtigen. Man fühlt sich wie im Mittelalter. Leider verwildern hinter den Mauern einige Grünanlagen. Das ist schade, ist doch die Anlage ein Highlight. Schade.
