Highlights

Part of what makes this region so unique is the number of small family run brewpubs that dot the countryside. This particular area is blessed with great rural scenery which passes through some pretty small villages. The brewpubs are from another time, simple but of great value. Regional specialties like Geräuchertes (smoked ham) go perfectly with the the very much local brews, often served via gravity dispense. These are beers you're not going to find back home and they'll have you pining for them once back there. The standard route is five miles but there are a variety of routes so please inquire about the length of each. Note that this is a private tour and can be tailored to your group's needs.

About Bamberg

Bamberg is an old town in northern Bavaria spread over seven hills and a river, with an imperial cathedral, a fishermen's quarter and smoked beer.

Bamberg lies in Upper Franconia on the Regnitz river, and its medieval and baroque old town, spread over seven hills, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. The four-towered cathedral holds the tomb of Emperor Henry II and the Bamberg Horseman, a mysterious knight carved in stone in the thirteenth century. The Old Town Hall stands on an artificial island in the river, linked by two bridges, with painted frescoes on its facade.
