Geroldsgrün is located in the German state of Bavaria near the Thuringian Forest and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape of forests, hills and rivers. The town itself has a rich history as a trading centre for textiles and today offers a variety of attractions for tourists.

Main attractions include Greifenstein Castle with its impressive Renaissance style and the Alte Mühle museum with its collection of historical tools. Culture enthusiasts can also visit the annual music days or the arts and crafts festival.

For gourmets, a trip to the local brewery is a must - here you can enjoy traditional Bavarian beers as well as try local specialities such as bratwurst or roast pork.

Outdoor enthusiasts are spoilt for choice: hike through the nearby Franconian Forest or take a bike tour along the Main cycle path. In winter, the Steinach am Brennerberg ski area beckons with its slopes for beginners to advanced skiers.

And what do you do in Geroldsgrün when it rains? A visit to the Aquaria indoor swimming pool ensures relaxation and recreation under water.

Geroldsgrün is worth a visit at any time of year, but it is especially beautiful in autumn when the forests are ablaze with colour. Discover this charming town and its surroundings with this informative travel guide - Geroldsgrün will certainly remain in your memory!

    Abwechslungsreiche Tour über Wald-, Wiesen- und Forstwege. Das letzte Stück vor Nordhalben hat einen sehr steilen Abstieg und dann einen sehr steilen Anstieg. Ansonsten eine sehr entspannte Route.
