WHY GO?

One of the Bavarian towns that always left a lasting impression on me is the quaint yet gorgeous Bamberg. It’s a UNESCO heritage site due to its well-preserved old town centre and blend of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. So if you’re a fan of beautiful buildings and historic town centres like me, that’s already a plus point. That’s not all Bamberg has to offer, though: the waterside canal district is a lovely place for spending a sunny afternoon or a picnic, it boasts one of the most famous cathedrals in Germany, and it’s also renowned for a rather special kind of beer: Rauchbier, a beer with a unique smoked flavour that you’ll be hard pressed to find elsewhere.

The surrounding areas of Franconia near Bamberg also have a lot to offer. The Oberfranken countryside is filled with some of the best hiking regions in Germany. Along the way are many local breweries and restaurants – indeed the area is best known for having more breweries per square kilometer than any other.

The two-day getaway mixed regional hiking and city walks, mixing together history and nature. It’s a great introduction to northern Bavaria, its cities, history, culture, and beer, as introduced by published author, and beer expert, Daniel Cole.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?

Altenburg Castle: Founded in the 1100s, the castle commands a panoramic view of the episcopal town and the surrounding region, and sits in the tallest mountain of Bamaberg’s famed seven hills.

Old Town Hall : Sitting on the middle of the river, The Old Town Hall’s frescoes never fail to impress as they lend the facades a three-dimensional quality achieved with trompe d’oeil architecture.

City Cathedral : The St. Peter’s and St. George’s Imperial Cathedral is older and more extravagant than any other in Germany, and consists of Romanesque and Gothic architecture.

Schlenkerla Gasthaus: Dinner and beer sampling at Germany’s most famous smoked-beer brewhouse that dates back to 1405.

Weyermann: The local malt manufacturer is responsible for milling the grain used by the majority of beer makers in Germany, if not Europe. Here you can shop for many exclusive products, beer, and whiskies.
