Holiday home "Paradise
Helmbrechts
We were already in this beautiful holiday home with our dog for two weeks in April 2025, and I had already given a review back then. I can actually add nothing to that previous review, as nothing has changed. As already mentioned, the name 'Paradise' is excellently chosen. And again this year, everything, but really everything was absolutely TOP. Our thanks go to the nice landlords, who keep everything so lovingly and above all clean. One of the best holiday homes we have rented so far. We will definitely come back. The house and the landlords can be recommended 100 percent. Thank you, Melanie and Karsten!

BIRKENWALD HUT
Ludwigsstadt
Today is our last day at the birch forest cabin and it has been a relaxing week. We were here for the first time and the cabin is a dream ... just as one imagines it, and the view and nature in the surrounding area is a dream. The landlords are nice and the key handover was straightforward. A bakery and Netto Aldi are nearby and within walking distance.
You can do a lot of walking/hiking ... however, the paths in the immediate vicinity are all steep ... we had our hands full with our old dog and dog carriage ... this is something to consider if you are not fit or ill. I think the price-performance ratio is great. We used the cabin to take a break from all the everyday stress and it worked very well.

we stayed in the flat for a few days in February 2019 and had a small skiing holiday in wonderful weather and lots of snow. It was wonderfully cosy in the flat, the four of us had plenty of space and also had peace and quiet and a wonderful view from the balcony. We were very warmly welcomed by our landlords, could ask them questions at any time and were very well advised, e.g. where we could rent skis and much more. Everything was wonderful and we will be very, very happy to come back.

Special attractions of the Franconian Forest include its fortified churches and Rosenberg Fortress. The massive churches built to protect the population, such as the one in Steinbach am Wald and the Church of the Holy Spirit in Grafengehaig, are particularly well-preserved. The latter dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries, with the current church built in the 15th century. Additional fortifications and houses were constructed during the Hussite Wars and the Thirty Years' War. In the historic old town of Kronach, you'll find Rosenberg Fortress, considered one of the best-preserved fortifications in Franconia and Bavaria. Constructed in various phases starting from the 13th century, it has never been taken by force throughout its history. Even older is Lauenstein Castle near Ludwigsstadt. No matter where in the Franconian Forest you rent your apartment or holiday home, the attractions and natural beauties are all within close proximity to your accommodation.
Wherever you rent an apartment or a holiday home in the Franconian Forest, you are just a few meters away from nature. A dense network of well-maintained hiking trails promises a relaxed vacation outdoors. Three certified trails run through the region: The Franconian Way leads from the Rennsteig to the Swabian Alb, the Franconian Mountain Trail runs through the eastern outskirts of the Franconian Forest to Münchberg, and the Franconian Stone Kingdom trail from the Fichtelgebirge into the Franconian Forest. The Franconian Forest Nature Park is known as the "Green Crown of Bavaria" and is the birthplace of the "Green Belt," which forms a unique biotope along the former German-German border. Here, wetlands alternate with meadows, heaths, and forests. A highlight of the Franconian Forest is the Upper Rodach Valley with the Wild Rodach, one of the source rivers of the Rodach. The historic Bischofsmühle inn, dating back to the 16th century, is a perfect starting point for hikes along the Rodach hiking trail.
Rent a family-friendly apartment in the Franconian Forest and enjoy a wonderful vacation in the greenery. Cozy apartments and private holiday homes with plenty of space, large gardens, Wi-Fi, and everything else you need are perfect for holidays with children and pets – and for a vacation with dogs in the Franconian Forest. Pets are welcome guests in many apartments. Dogs can run and frolic undisturbed on the many kilometers of hiking trails. And there's plenty of fun and relaxation to be had: hiking, summer tobogganing, mountain biking, and cycling in the summer; alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, sledding, and winter hiking in the colder months. In the hot summer months, numerous lakes and outdoor pools provide fun and cooling off. The natural swimming spots and nature adventure pools offer swimming fun without chemicals. Here you can relax with peace of mind. The hot thermal and peat baths in Bad Steben and a wave pool with sauna complement the year-round bathing offerings.
Kronach was long part of the Diocese of Bamberg, Kulmach belonged to the Margraves of Brandenburg, and a large part of the Franconian Forest was part of Thuringia. This mix defines the culinary tradition of the region. The specialties of the Franconian Forest include carp, game, goat, and lamb. Particularly, the kid goat was long considered the beef of the poor. Today, it is a delicacy on restaurant menus. In winter, game is highly popular: venison back, roast venison, and wild boar fillet are served with fresh mushrooms from the region's forests. In the Franconian Forest, people love to celebrate: Thanksgiving, the spring awakening of the Franconian Forest kids, and other culinary events throughout the year attract both guests and locals alike. Chefs in the Franconian Forest place great importance on local and seasonal products. Many menus provide information about the producers and origins of the ingredients. If you want to cook in your own holiday home or apartment, the farm shops and weekly markets in Kulmbach, Presseck, and Kronach offer the best and freshest ingredients. Oh, and Franconia is known as the land of beers. Try the spicy barley juice from the many small regional breweries. Enjoy your meal!
Art lovers will find a highlight of the museums in Upper Franconia near their holiday apartment or private holiday home in the Franconian Forest. The Franconian Gallery, located in the former commander's residence of Rosenberg Fortress, houses works by Lucas Cranach the Elder (who was born in Kronach) and panel paintings from the 13th to 16th centuries. A collection of Gothic and early Renaissance sculptures includes works by Tilman Riemenschneider and Adam Kraft. The gallery in the district office in Kronach, on the other hand, provides a forum for contemporary artists. Here you will find changing exhibitions and events from the active art scene in Upper Franconia. Another outstanding museum is located in Plassenburg near Kulmbach. The Upper Main Landscape Museum displays a replica of the Ebstorf Map, a medieval world map with Jerusalem at its center. The original was destroyed in 1943. Another part of the museum showcases the effects of the Reformation and the early history of Kulmbach. For lovers of modern and contemporary art, a visit to the local art association with changing special exhibitions is highly recommended.
The Franconian Forest is located in the north of Bavaria. A small part belongs to Thuringia and is also part of the Thuringian Forest.
