Red Tower, Kulmbach

Highlight • Historical Site

The Red Tower stands on a hill. It is part of the city's fortifications from the 13th century. The five-storey tower - the top storey is built in half-timbering - housed the town piper's apartment. From here he could overlook the entire city and was responsible for raising the alarm in the event of fire.

Rehberg Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the deer tower you have a wonderful view over Kulmbach and a completely new perspective of the Plassenburg. The climb is worth it!

Rehberg Nature Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The nature trail is particularly suitable for families with children. Along the way there are signs with the names of plants, animals and explanations about the forest habitat. At some stations you can also do something actively and not just read. The path is also well suited in summer, as it is always a few degrees cooler here than usual.

Rehbrünnla

Highlight • Natural Monument

Up until the beginning of the Second World War it was common in Franconia, according to an old popular belief, for young girls to fetch “Easter water” from springs and wells in the area on the night before the day of the Resurrection. This water should have healing and beautifying power, provided that no sound was spoken while fetching water.

Kulmbach Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

A unique number of old villas, picturesque old town and museums. That's enough for a vacation. You also have a connection to the Franconian Forest, which I call a stronghold for hikers. The low mountain range Franconian Switzerland, Fichtelgebirge and Haßberge are also nearby.
