    The medieval, walkable city wall is very well preserved and gives an impression of earlier times.

      The defensive wall, which is accessible to the public, is located north-east of the city wall.

          Berching has a beautiful old town with great restaurants. The place does not have to hide behind Beilngries.

            Old city wall with walkable battlements. Freely accessible for everyone.

              You can walk on the wall. For me it was the first time that you were allowed to do something like that.

                Indescribably nice to be able to walk around on it.

                  Berching has a completely preserved late medieval wall belt with approx. 6 m high city walls including an accessible battlement and four gates with heavy wooden doors.

                          Berching is one of the few places in Germany that is still completely surrounded by a city wall.
