Burgellern, Scheßlitz and surroundings

The well-known holiday region "Franconian Switzerland" and the adjacent "Upper Main Valley" have a lot to offer in summer and winter: In the immediate vicinity you can go hiking, cycling, canoeing and above all climbing.
But those interested in culture will not miss out either: be it castles, palaces or monasteries. The area around Burgellern Castle belongs to one of the cultural landscapes of Germany.

Your summer holiday in Burgellern Castle

Enjoy the peace and seclusion of Burgellern Castle without losing contact with the cultural city of Bamberg and the metropolitan region of Nuremberg. Burgellern Castle is located 14 km outside Bamberg at the foot of the Reisberg mountain, where according to the latest findings the Nibelungen saga could have originated.

Franconian Switzerland Nature Park

One step behind the Schlosspark and you are in the Fränkische Schweiz Nature Park. The beautiful landscape with the picturesque rock formations offers hundreds of hiking routes or walks with a variety of places to stop. Franconian Switzerland is known for the highest brewery density in the world. You will find one or more breweries in almost every village!
Tip: Search for the church. Opposite is almost always the economy!
By the way: The Brotzeit was invented here and in Bamberg Landkreis you go to a beer cellar and not inside!

Hiking

Burgellern Castle is the starting point for numerous regional and national hiking tours. The Frankenweg leads directly through the castle park. In the castle we have sufficient information material and hiking maps for your hiking tour.

Here you will find a compilation of walking and hiking trails as well as cycling tours around Burgellern Castle. Link >>

Bicycle

Explore the surroundings of Burgellern with your own rental bikes. A flat cycle path leads you without effort in about one hour to the World Heritage city of Bamberg. On the way you will be enticed by various taverns and breweries with their specialities and try to prevent you from cycling on!
Those who love the challenge take the opposite path. 300 meters of altitude difference are to be overcome at least once, if you take the way with the mountain bike in the direction of Main. Twisted field paths, forest stretches and steep descents offer all challenges for the ambitious biker. You can also book a companion for your tour through the castle.

Climbing

Whoever climbs knows Franconian Switzerland. Only important here: In the immediate vicinity of Burgellern Castle you will find numerous climbing rocks and tours.
