オーバーフランケン周辺のおすすめシティハイキング＆ウォーキング

Old houses along the Wiesent River 👌👍 They're lovely to look at.

The climb to the monastery is rewarded with a magnificent view over the old town and Bamberg Cathedral.

From the large viewing terrace in front of St. Michael's Monastery, there is a beautiful view of Bamberg Cathedral opposite. It is a truly impressive sight.

The Michaelsberg in Bamberg is home to the remarkable terraced gardens of the former St. Michael's Monastery, which are freely accessible and feature baroque design with orchards, a vineyard and linden arbors.

It's somewhat hidden, but the view down to Bamberg from here is well worth taking in.

St. Lorenz Church in Lorenz Park at the end of the pedestrian zone is the oldest church in the city and, as the mother church of the region, of great historical significance. It was first documented in 1214, but is believed to have been built as early as 1080. Repeatedly rebuilt and renovated, the church today stands as a remarkable example of early 19th-century church architecture. The church's interior dates back to a comprehensive renovation in 1822 in the Neoclassical style. The pulpit altar, in the so-called Margravial style, also dates from this period. The most important works of art are a crucifix (circa 1500) and the valuable "Hertnid von Stein Altarpiece," a late Gothic Franconian winged altarpiece from between 1480 and 1486. It was named after its donor, Hertnid von Stein, Dean of Bamberg Cathedral and parish priest in Hof, and depicts, among other things, St. Lawrence, the patron saint of the church. St. Lorenz Church is an "open church." Dedicated volunteers offer guided tours of the church and tower throughout the year, run the church café, and host picnics and film screenings. The surrounding St. Lorenz Park was transformed into the "Lorenzo Oasis" as part of the church's 800th anniversary celebrations, a project undertaken jointly by the parish and the city of Hof. Foundations, sponsors, and local residents also contributed to the project. https://www.hof.de/leben-erleben/sehenswuerdigkeiten-in-hof/kirchen

The oldest church in Hof (first documented in 1214) and located on the edge of the city center. Situated on a small hill, it's easy to spot.

As a stranger, the only thing that really catches your attention when you see this church are its towering twin towers. The beauty of the church's interior is surprising. A visit is highly recommended, even if you have limited time!
