One of the tourist attractions is Thurnau Castle from the 17th century and the ruins of Neideck Castle, which towers high above the town and offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding area. The historic town hall from the 16th century and the town parish church of St. Nicholas should also be visited.

Cultural highlights can also be discovered in Ebermannstadt: The annual Old Town Festival attracts visitors from near and far and features a colourful programme with music acts, artisans as well as culinary delicacies from the region.

For gourmets, Ebermannstadt also has a lot to offer - here you can sample local specialities such as Franconian beer or hearty dishes such as bratwurst.

If it rains, it is worth visiting the local history museum "Haus Marta". Here you can learn more about the history of the town as well as its inhabitants in earlier times.

The most beautiful places in Ebermannstadt can be found around the market square - there you can stroll leisurely or enjoy a cup of coffee in one of the numerous cafés. The hiking trails around the town also offer beautiful views of the surrounding area and are an experience at any time of year.

Ebermannstadt is definitely worth a visit - as a travel guide, we recommend that you plan at least two days for your stay in order to visit and experience all of these beautiful places.

    Am Anfang haben wir uns etwas mit der Wegfindung schwer getan und sind zwischen die Zielscheiben des Bogenschießparcours geraten. Sonst lief es ohne Probleme. Bei uns hat die Uhr am Ende über 400Hm angezeigt, es geht schon ein paar Mal knackig nach oben (und unten).

    Sehr schön, besonders der Druidenhain will ausgiebig durchstreift werden. Und danach der Wald ist auch wunderschön. Tour ist technisch leicht und konditionell Mittel.

    Tolle Tour mit schönen Wegen, bergauf oft Teer (angenehm) sonst viel Naturwege. Der Tipp "Direktlink siehe Detailbeschreibung > Info" funktioniert bei mir nicht. Aber wenn man die Tour in Komoot einließt, hilft die Option "Route auf bekannte Wege führen" (oder so ähnlich) ungemein, weil der Originaltrack oft daneben liegt. Danke fürs Einstellen. Bei mir waren es eher 850 Höhenmeter auf dem Navi.

    Schöne Tour, vielen Dank fürs Einstellen. Wir haben die Fahrräder nicht zur Riesenburg hochgeschoben, sondern sind auf der Straße außen herum gefahren. Zwischen Adlerstein und Quackenschloss haben wir geschoben, kann man kaum fahren. Ist aber kein Problem. Viele, tolle, sehr schmale Wege, tolle Einkehrmöglichkeiten (je nach Öffnungszeit).

    Tolle, abwechslungsreiche Tour, häufig auf schönen, schmalen Wegen. Das ist aber S1, nicht S2. Hatte ca. 50KM und 1000HM auf dem Navi. Klare Empfehlung, danke fürs Einstellen.

    Schöne Rundtour, überwiegend Radwege, auch gute Einkehrmöglichkeiten sind vorhanden. Eine gewaltige Steigung ist aber zu absolvieren, die nur gut trainierte Radler oder E Biker nett finden, dafür ist der Rest der Strecke eher entspannt, solange es am Kanal keinen Gegenwind gibt. Sehr empfehlenswert! Danke

    Für die erste Hälfte 5 Sterne. Der Rückweg ist eher durchschnittlich und gefühlt von der Art: wie komm ich am schnellsten zurück zum Auto. Trotzdem war es insgesamt ein sehr lohnender Ausflug. Die Wege waren alle gut zu Laufen, trotz des nassen Wetters. Meist hat momentan das Laub vom letzten Herbst alles abgedeckt.
