Things To Do
Franconian Switzerland (Fränkische Schweiz)
The locality of the wedding is known for steep rock formations and cliffs, and is famous for its rock climbing. The entire region is best explored with a car, as it is generally too rural for efficient public transport.
Rock Garden (Felsengarten) in Sanspareil
A historic park, nature preserve, and rock garden, Sanspareil can be reached by a long walk from the wedding venue, or quickly with a car. The outdoor stone theater is a must-see.
Zwernitz Castle (Burg Zwernitz) in Sanspareil
You can explore the exterior of this 12th century castle, and on Sundays guided tours of the interior are also available.
Kellerfest Kasendorf
On the 3rd August 2025, there is a village beer festival in the nearby village of Kasendorf. Think Oktoberfest, but smaller, less touristy, and more authentic. There is a marching band and the beer is much cheaper ;) Check out the link for some pictures from previous years' Kellerfests!
Thurnau
10 minutes by car from the wedding venue, the historic village Thurnau offers multiple places to stay the night and a historic castle. It's also known for its many potteries.
Bamberg
Built upon seven hills, the picturesque city of Bamberg (Franconian Rome) is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and great variety of beers. Must visit!
Nuremberg (Nürnberg)
The most beautiful city in Germany (according to the groom), Nuremberg is an excellent travel hub due to its airport and train connections to elsewhere in Germany and Europe. It is known for its medieval history and well-fortified city walls and castle.
Munich (München)
1.5 hours away from Nuremberg with public transport, Munich is famous for its historic architecture and its many beergardens.
Berlin
3 hours away from Nuremberg with public transport, Berlin is one of Europe's cultural hubs. Explore the neighborhood of Friedrichshain (where the bride and groom live) and the many historic sites and museums.
Alps (Alpen)
A few hours away from Nuremberg with public transport, but many locations are better-accessible with a car.
