Bayreuth

There is a lot to discover in Bayreuth, in Franconian Switzerland and in the Fichtel Mountains. "In the past, poets and artists had to go on pilgrimages to Naples, Florence or Ferrara, today their destination is Bayreuth." This quote is attributed to Voltaire and it still seems to apply today: Anyone who says Bayreuth must also say Festival. But it's not just the annual Wagner happening on the Green Hill that makes Bayreuth an exciting destination for a city break or a vacation trip. Because hardly any connoisseur and culture lover, nature lover or sports fanatic can escape the special spirit of Bayreuth and the beautiful landscape of Franconian Switzerland and the Fichtel Mountains right next door. Here you breathe history, experience living world culture and discover pure nature.
