AmSonnhang - Leo XIII House

Obertrubach

View German

Pure holiday enjoyment

We encountered a very clean vacation apartment that had everything we needed.
From the balcony, there is a wonderful view over the beautiful town of Obertrubach.
We visited the relatively nearby cities of Regensburg, Bamberg, and Bayreuth, which we were very taken with.
Additionally, we walked a lot in the picturesque landscape of the Franconian Switzerland.
The Franconian cuisine deserves high praise, as it is very good, very hearty, and above all still affordable. All in all, pure vacation pleasure!

Holiday flat Schwatlo

Mistelgau

View German

Exceptional and highly recommended!!

Everything was wonderful and we felt very comfortable, always supported by the very nice host. The holiday apartment is very spacious, bright, and well-equipped - we lacked nothing, and all the technical devices are top-notch. Everything is available, and there are many things in the apartment that are not usually part of the standard equipment in other houses. Furniture and furnishings (with plenty of storage) made from ecological materials (we particularly liked the mattresses and the comforters!!), and much more.
We were four and had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, all well-equipped including a washing machine. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed - there is even a coffee machine for fresh coffee beans. The large terrace to the south with an electric awning and a wonderful view of the nature and vegetable garden is also very beautiful. Very good location in a quiet residential area with its own carport for the car. Bayreuth is easily and quickly reachable by car, and it is also possible by bus. Upon our departure, the landlord also gave us rose cuttings and fresh onions from the garden - thank you again for everything, and we would be happy to come back.

Which sights are there in Franconian Switzerland?

Endless Castles – Discover These Attractions from Your Vacation Apartment

Franconian Switzerland abounds with its wealth of castles and caves. If you want to follow the traces of the Middle Ages, you can discover 170 romantic castles, fortresses, or ruins. Popular destinations include the 1000-year-old Pottenstein Fortress and the possibly even older Gößweinstein Castle, which majestically overlooks the town. The ancestral seat of the Barons of and at Egloffstein is Egloffstein Castle, which can be visited upon request. The picturesque village that clings to the rock is also worth seeing. The Neideck Castle Ruin was a popular destination for painters and poets during the Romantic era. Today, the ruin is considered one of the landmarks of Franconian Switzerland. If you want to delve deeper into the history of Franconian Switzerland, you can explore the traces of geological history in the caves. Of the over 1,000 small and large caves, the three show caves are among the most popular destinations. One of the largest rock grottos in the republic is the Sophienhöhle in Ahorntal with its impressive stalactite formations. The wonder world of the Teufelshöhle Pottenstein impresses with stalactites, prehistoric skeletons, and a huge underground hall. The Bing Cave is one of the most beautiful stalactite gallery caves in Germany and fascinates with its modern lighting technology. In addition to castles, fortresses, and caves, you should take ample time during your vacation to visit the charming hamlets in Franconian Switzerland and to stroll or hike in the breathtaking nature. There is much to see, and a surprise awaits around every bend! You can also head to Walberla for a hike. Walberla is the northern peak of the mountain and is situated at about 513 m. It is also considered a landmark of the region.

What do you need to experience in Franconian Switzerland?

Traditions and Brass Music – These Highlights Await You During Your Vacation Home Stay

What can you experience in Franconian Switzerland with children?

Adventure Right at Home – Family Vacation in the Apartment

The idyllic Franconian Switzerland is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Bavaria. Families, in particular, feel comfortable in the affordable vacation home. From here, children and parents can embark on a variety of activities. Testing the "Franconian Whitewater" on the Wiesent with a kayak, uncovering prehistoric animals at the fossil knocking sites, discovering the Felsengarten Sanspareil, or seeking challenges in the climbing garden are just small appetizers from the diverse offerings. A real family highlight is the Pottenstein Adventure Mile with 21 exciting leisure activities for young and old. Speaking of climbing: Franconian Switzerland rightly bears its name and is therefore also suitable for a vacation in the mountains. Although the mountains do not reach dizzying heights, they are quite challenging and are known as a climbing paradise. You can find challenging climbing areas, for example, at Walberla and Röthelfels. If you want to try out this interesting sport, climbing schools will introduce you to the tips and tricks of free climbing. In bad weather, you can let off steam in the climbing and bouldering halls. Lots of activity in the fresh air makes you hungry, thirsty, and tired. Your affordable vacation home is not only your base camp but also provides the ideal balance to sweaty adventures. The modernly equipped houses offer you all the comfort you need for perfect relaxation. Cozy rooms, comfortable beds, Wi-Fi, and television ensure the perfect relaxation in the apartment. The day begins with a delicious breakfast with a view of the idyllic landscape and ends with the cozy gathering of the whole family in the vacation home and a peaceful night. Does your family include a four-legged member? The destination in Franconia is also recommended for a vacation with a dog. In many apartments, your furry friend is a welcome guest. The dog-friendly landlords of your house know what dog owners need and have completely and solidly fenced the garden. From your house, you can go on extensive hikes or explore the historic old towns together with your dog. You can also visit the Hundshaupten Wildlife Park with your dog. Numerous excursion destinations such as Bamberg, Ahorntal, Gößweinstein, Ebermannstadt, Wiesenttal, or surrounding cities and the breweries in Aufseß await you.

Where can I eat out in Franconian Switzerland?

Spicy Horseradish, Flavorful Beer – Taste Your Vacation in the Apartment

Speaking of enjoyment: The beer brewing tradition is also part of the culture in Franconian Switzerland. Here, beer is more than just a drink! 69 family-run breweries produce the tasty Franconian beers in a craft tradition. To try many of them during your stay in the apartment, you should participate in a beer cellar tour or go on a brewery hike. Distilling is also done in Franconian Switzerland, with around 300 distilleries creating high-proof spirits. A hearty cuisine provides the right foundation. Carp, lamb, and Schäuferla are among the regional specialties. Also, the spicy horseradish, also known as Kren, which has been part of Bavaria's world heritage of taste since 2010. In hospitable Bavaria, these delicacies can be wonderfully enjoyed in one of the restaurants. Or you can stock up on high-quality foodstuffs in the farm shops directly from the producer. In the kitchen of your private vacation home, you can create your very own favorite dinner from the ingredients.

What is a must-see in Franconian Switzerland?

Art and Culture at Your Doorstep – Your Accommodation in Franconian Switzerland

In the museums of Franconian Switzerland, you can learn about numerous facets of your vacation region. At Schloss Fantaisie in Eckersdorf, you will find Germany's first garden art museum alongside the noteworthy castle park. At the Horseradish Museum in Baiersdorf, you can learn interesting facts about horseradish, and at the German Camera Museum in Plech, you can trace the history of photography. Rent an affordable vacation apartment privately and participate in an unusual art event: During the Franconian Painters' Days, artists from all over the republic come together and dedicate their art to the respective community. During the workdays, you can watch the artists at work and admire the works during the subsequent exhibition days. Music, cabaret, and theater enthusiasts can look forward to a varied program at the "Junges Theater Forchheim." During the summer months, the Sophienhöhle and Teufelshöhle transform into gigantic concert halls.
