Gräfenberg Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

A beautiful place with neat, painted houses, a café, a fountain and a lot of history! A few panels explain what happened here in 1866 and that Graefenberg received town charter before 1400. A painting is over 500 years old.

Hiltpoltstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle is privately owned, so it can only be admired from a distance. The church was picturesquely built into a rock massif.
