    The Giechburg is one of the most famous excursion destinations in the Bamberg district. There are several ways to climb the castle, such as mountain biking, hiking or driving up directly with your car. When you get to the top of the Giechburg you have a beautiful all-round view. Just beautiful 🤩. The restaurants have very good food and the prices are okay.

      In order to ensure the continued existence of the facilities, the Friends of Giechburg e. V. founded and the first noteworthy renovation work initiated. When the Bamberg district took over the castle in 1971, the association dissolved and under the care of the district administration began a comprehensive renovation program and expansion as a conference location and cultural event center for the Bamberg district. In addition, the castle offers a restaurant and accommodation.
      The Franconian Marienweg runs past the castle.
