The old town is characterized by picturesque half-timbered houses and narrow alleys. The well-preserved buildings and historic streets invite you to take a leisurely stroll.

Kronach (Upper Franconian: Gronich; historically also spelled Cronach) is the district town of the Upper Franconian district of Kronach and a medium-sized center in Bavaria. The city lies at the foot of the Franconian Forest, where the rivers Haßlach, Kronach, and Rodach converge. Kronach is the birthplace of Lucas Cranach the Elder and boasts one of the best-preserved fortifications in Germany, the Rosenberg Fortress. The cityscape is dominated by the almost completely preserved old town with sandstone and half-timbered houses, city walls, gates, towers, and vaulted cellars. Kronach is located on the Castle Road, the Beer and Castle Road, and the Bavarian Porcelain Road. With the Lucas Cranach Campus, Kronach is a university town.
