Every first Sunday of the month, you can take a guided tour of the impressive castle. More information: https://www.bayreuth-tourismus.de/sehenswertes/museen/schloss-colmdorf-schloss-birken. If you just want to take a short break, a stop at the castle café or beer garden is worthwhile.

The old town hall formerly served as a sales hall for bread and meat products, a frequently used dance floor, a prison (known as the "Narrenhäuslein"), a fire extinguisher's house, and a post office. Later, it housed the savings bank. Today, the old town hall houses the residents' registration office, the passport office, the assembly hall, and the wedding hall.

The Tierpark am Röhrensee (Tube Lake Animal Park) This park in the south of Bayreuth is a draw for all generations. Enclosures and aviaries are embedded in the park's landscape amidst mature trees by the lake. Animals such as Bennett's wallabies, Temminck's tragopan, and flamingos live in species-appropriate, naturally designed enclosures and represent the earth's biological diversity. Visitors will find botanical features and colorful summer flowerbeds in the park, as well as authentic nature experiences. A large playground offers various climbing opportunities, a water playground, and play equipment for people of all ages. In summer, boat rentals provide additional variety. The dining options, including a restaurant and kiosk, round out the excursion. Source: https://www.tierpark-roehrensee.de/
