Erlangen has ca. 100,000 inhabitants and is near the beautiful "Frankonian Switzerland" ("Fränkische Schweiz") landscape. Lovely medieval towns like Bamberg, Bayreuth, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Würzburg, and Regensburg are close by.

A trip to the beautiful medieval town of Bamberg, ca 40 km north of Erlangen, is warmly recommended. Bamberg has recently been designated by the UNESCO as one of the ca. 380 "World Cultural Heritages".

Trains to Bamberg depart every ca. 20 min. from the Erlangen railroad station. Click here to figure out specific train departure dates.

We also recommend a trip to the "Franconian Switzerland" ("Fränkische Schweiz"), a landscape north of Erlangen. Lovely small towns, even built into craggy rock formations are among the highlights.

The "Devil's Cave" ("Teufelshöhle") near the picturesque town of Pottenstein (see photos) will overwhelm you by bizarre stalactite and stalagmite rocks in an unreal world! Caution: the cave temperature is only 10^oC (50^oF)!

Please note that the Teufelshöhle will be closed in winter.

Pottenstein castle. Have a visit - it's worth while.

The Erlangen/Bamberg area is famous for its many breweries (more than 200!). Many small breweries may be found in the surrounding villages. All kinds of beer may be found, from smoked beer (originating from the Bamberg "Schlenkerla" brewery) over Lager to Pils type beer. We recommend to have a visit to some of these breweries and taste the liquid specialties.
