Schwarzach gorge
It is not without reason that the gorge from the river Schwarzach has been awarded the seal of quality “Bavaria’s most beautiful geotopes”. A beautiful path leads along the Schwarzach through the gorge through which the small river winds. The path partly goes over wooden footbridges over the river and leads past beautiful and bizarre rock formations, as well as caves and a spring. A wonderful adventure playground for young and old.
Fränkische Schweiz
Franconian Switzerland is one of the oldest holiday regions in Bavaria and a popular travel destination for active people, nature lovers and families. The rocky and hilly region is known for its numerous caves, climbing routes and hiking trails. Canoes can be rented on several rivers and the landscape can be explored from the water. Brewery hikes offer a highlight that combines the beauty of the landscape with the culinary delights of the region.
Playmobil Funpark
The Playmobil Funpark is an amusement park for the whole family. Life-size Playmobil figures, a pirate ship, a winding knight’s castle, a go-kart course at the police station and climbing and water playgrounds are just some of the attractions.
The „Old Canal“
In 1825, under King Ludwig I, concrete planning began for the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal in order to create a navigable connection between the North Sea and the Black Sea. With a total length of 172 km, it connects the Danube near Kehlheim with the Regnitz in Bamberg.
Today the “Old Canal” functions as an attractive and natural recreational area. With its excellently developed paths, it offers a great opportunity to explore the region in a relaxed manner by bike.
Altdorf market square
The Altdorf market square is definitely worth a visit. The town center has remained almost unchanged for centuries. The Laurentius Church, old town houses, city gates and the former university building characterize the townscape. A nice place to eat an ice cream or drink a coffee. Every Saturday there is a farmers‘ market on the market square.
Thermal baths, sauna area & adventure pool
The Kristall Palm Beach combines thermal baths, sauna areas and adventure pools. 15 slides over 1.5 km long offer plenty of opportunities to spend a day full of water action.
