Maps and trails
Colmberg is picturesquely situated on a hill between the rivers Tauber and Altmühl in the region of Middle Franconia. The town is known for its well-preserved castle complex dating back to the 13th century as well as its beautiful landscape with rolling hills, forests and fields.

The most important sights are undoubtedly Colmberg Castle with its impressive keep as well as Schwarzenberg Castle, a baroque jewel of the 18th century. Culture enthusiasts should also take a detour to the Fränkischer Hof museum or be enchanted by a guided tour through the historic old town.

For gourmets, Colmberg also has a lot to offer: Be sure to try the famous Franconian beer as well as local specialities such as bratwurst or liver dumplings - ideally directly in a traditional local inn.

Outdoor fans get their money's worth here all year round: In summer, the surrounding area beckons you to go hiking or cycling through idyllic valleys and over green mountain ranges. In winter, cross-country skiers can explore the snow-covered landscape or have fun tobogganing.

And what to do when it rains? No problem: visit the Aquella adventure pool in Ansbach or take a trip to nearby Nuremberg with its many museums and cultural offerings.

Where is it most beautiful in Colmberg? Definitely on the castle terrace with a view over the town and its surroundings - an unforgettable experience!

Colmberg is definitely worth a trip! Use this travel guide as inspiration for your next holiday. We hope you enjoy discovering Colmberg, one of the most charming places in Germany.

    Eine wirklich schöne Tour, 90% Asphalt, perfekt für Gravel- oder Tourenräder. Für Rennrad eher nicht geeignet, die Schotterstrecken sind teilweise auch mit scharfem Split/Schotter. Sehr wenig Autoverkehr, wir fuhren am Karsamstag.

    Landschaftlich zum Ende hin immer toller werdend. Die km Angabe und die Höhenmeter stimmen nicht, sind beides mehr, da die Tour nicht genau am Radweg entlang führt!!
