Hiking

The historic market square in Wirsberg with the historic town hall forms a beautiful half-timbered ensemble. Herrmann's Romantik Posthotel from star chef Alexander Herrmann is also located here.

Wirsberg, probably founded at the beginning of the 13th century, is already mentioned as a market town in documents at the end of the 13th century. The reconstruction of Wirsberg after the looting and burning on February 1, 1633, during the Thirty Years' War, lasted for decades. In 1701, with the inauguration of the Old Town Hall, the last vacant lot on the market square was closed. As part of urban development funding, the Wirsberg market square was redesigned in 1995. Today, it is both an eye-catcher and an attraction.

Since June 2020, a wooden frame with steel tubes has also been erected here with the ambiguous name "Schlossplatz" for all bridal couples who have since given the "yes I do" in the wedding village of Wirsberg and all those who have fulfilled the dream of their own "castle" in Wirsberg.
