    The best view over the Bamberg area is from the castle keep of Altenburg.

      Just like ancient Rome, Bamberg is considered a city on seven hills. The Altenburg has stood on the highest hill west of the old town since at least 1109.
      Even the viewing terrace offers a beautiful panoramic view over Bamberg and the surrounding area. From the keep, the view is even more spectacular. About 20 km away in the northeast, on the other side of the Regnitz valley, you can see the Giechburg near Scheßlitz.
      E.T.A. From 1810 Hoffmann was employed at the Bamberg Theater as a director's assistant, dramaturge and decorative painter. In 1812 he lived in one of the wall towers. Hence the name of the restaurant "Hoffmannsklause".
      Opening hours: 9.00-19.00

        The keep is accessible again - one euro (1€) entrance fee - definitely worth it.
