Bayreuth

Take a trip to the nearby tiny town of Aufsess, which the Guinness Book of World Records recognizes as the town with the most breweries per capita! There's even a beer trail that you can hike with stops at all the local biergartens.

Visit Bamberg to see the medieval town and try the local smoked beer Rauchbier.

Take an adventure in the Franconian Switzerland Fränkische Schweiz and experience the beautiful local flora, fauna, and scenery.

Nuremberg is also nearby, and an easy, exciting day trip.
