"Franconian Switzerland" in Bavaria: The Land of Castles, Villages and Caves

Our region is one of the most valued vacation areas in Germany. The so-called "Franconian Switzerland" is a hiker's paradise, and appeals to culture-friends as well. The region attracts hikers, climbers, aviators (hang-gliders, gliders, airplanes), bikers (racing bikes / mountain bikes), fossil collectors, cave-enthusiasts and castle-spotters, and nature lovers in general. See our overview of possible leisure-time activities.

The county of "Oberfranken" ("Upper Franconia") abounds with beautiful landscapes, cultural and historical monuments and intersting cities - all within the range of a day trip. See our overview of places of interest.
