Selb is best known as a porcelain town. Here you will find the famous Rosenthal Museum as well as numerous factory outlets and outlets where you can buy high-quality porcelain at low prices. Selb also has a lot to offer culturally: The theatre at Hüttenplatz regularly offers performances of various genres.

Wunsiedel, on the other hand, attracts visitors with its historic buildings and sights such as the market square or the Schlossberg. The Luisenburg Festival is also a highlight, with well-known plays performed outdoors every year.

Those who like to be active will also feel at home here: In summer, hiking trails through the Fichtelgebirge invite you to explore nature - the Ochsenkopf or the Kösseine summit are particularly beautiful. In winter, the region turns into a paradise for skiers and snowboarders: the skiing area on the Ochsenkopf offers downhill runs of varying difficulty as well as cross-country skiing trails.

For culinary discoveries, we recommend a visit to a traditional beer brewery or a cosy inn - here you can enjoy hearty dishes such as bratwurst or Schäufele. And if the weather doesn't cooperate, you can visit the Porzellanikon in Selb, for example, or relax in the indoor swimming pool.

All in all, the region around Selb and Wunsiedel is a destination that is definitely worth a visit - whether you want to experience cultural highlights, be active or simply relax. A travel guide for everyone who wants to discover Bavaria from its most beautiful side!
