Cozy walks invite you to explore the Upper Franconian city of Bayreuth on foot. A popular recreational area is the park surrounding the Festspielhaus in the north of the city. But the Wilhelminenaue on the banks of the Red Main is also worth a visit. Just outside Bayreuth, the Franconian Switzerland or the Fichtel Mountains extend, offering numerous trails for hikers.
