Schloss Colmdorf with castle café

Highlight • Castle

The town of Colmdorf, then known as Kolbendorf, was first mentioned in 1386. The wooden predecessor of the current castle stood a little further south and was first mentioned in documents in the middle of the 16th century. The castle, which had been rebuilt after a fire in 1620, was given as a gift by Margrave Christian Ernst to his wife Erdmuthe Sophie in 1662. In 1754, the Margrave's minister Baron von Reitzenstein bought it and had it rebuilt in its current form. Just a few years later, Margrave Friedrich bought it back and gave it to his second wife Sophie Caroline Marie of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. It was also named Carolinenruhe after her. In the following years, the owners changed frequently, and Isolde Beidler, a daughter of Richard Wagner, also lived here with her family from 1901 to 1911. The castle faces a large garden with many sculptures.

Rotmain Center Bayreuth

Highlight • Rest Area

The municipal slaughterhouse had stood on the site of today's Rotmain Center since 1881. After it was relocated to the northwestern edge of the city, an urban planning ideas and implementation competition was announced for the planned "City Center", from which the design by architects Horstmann and Coban emerged as the winner. In the course of its implementation, only seven of the originally planned seventy residential units and a smaller proportion of office space were implemented in favor of a sales area that was increased to 20,000 square meters. There are currently more than sixty shops and restaurants in this shopping mall.

Creußen Town Center and Fountain

Highlight • Settlement

Starting point for many beautiful bike paths and side streets. In addition to the main route Bayreuth - Pegnitz, you can also cycle in the direction of Tiefenthal. A bit mountainous, but more scenic.
There is also a lot to discover in the other direction, towards Gottsfeld. In particular, of course, the source of the red main.
