Thousands of climbing routes on limestone towers, caves, castles and a brewery in every village.
Franconian Switzerland is a valley land of limestone crags with more than ten thousand climbing routes — this is where the red-point was invented. The Wiesent is for canoes, the Teufelshöhle and other caves for rainy days, castles like Pottenstein and Gößweinstein for the views, and no region anywhere has more village breweries.
