Kronach is located in the federal state of Bavaria and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape. The town is located on the course of the Rodach River and is framed by green hills. The historic townscape with its narrow streets, half-timbered houses and impressive fortress hill makes Kronach a unique destination.

One of the tourist attractions is Rosenberg Castle from the 14th century. Here you can take a guided tour through the rooms of the castle or take a walk through the idyllic castle park.

Another highlight is the German Toy Museum, which houses a large collection of antique toys. For art lovers, a visit to the Lucas Cranach House is recommended, where works by the famous painter are on display.

    Schöne Wanderung zuerst über Wiesen, dann durch Wald entlang der Matern bis zum Wallfahrtsort Glosberg mit einer sehr schönen Kirche und einer Waldkirche oberhalb. Zurück geht es durch Wald und über Felder mit Panoramen.

    Vor einigen Jahren wurde der E6 im Wendland großräumig verlegt. Die gezeigte Strecke entspricht daher nicht mehr der Markierung vor Ort. Im Übrigen kann ich den E6 gerade im Wendland wärmstens empfehlen.
