Burgbernheim Orchard Meadows

Highlight • Natural

For centuries, the roots of the fruit trees have permeated the northern slope of the Frankenhöhe. For the agriculture an uneconomic area but not for the fruit farmers. More than 30,000 fruit trees grow in the orchards around Burgbergheim. Nature lovers can wander through the meadows past cherry trees, pear trees, plum trees and apple trees. The air smells of juicy fruits, sun-soaked earth and fresh grass.

Teufelshäuschen Observation Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Devil's House in the woods above Burgbernheim is a viewing platform built around a tree. From here, there is a wonderful view. The name comes from an old legend that says the devil himself was supposed to have been at this spot.

Wildbad Historic Spa and Guesthouse

Highlight • Historical Site

The impressive and listed building ensemble of the Waldgasthof Wildbad looks back on a long tradition. The current building dates back to the 18th century, but due to the healing springs, people have been coming into the narrow valley for over 1,000 years.

Today, you can not only dine excellently here, but also spend the night and explore countless hiking trails in the peaceful nature.

Opening times can be found at waldgasthof-wildbad.de/index.htm.

View over Burgbernheim and the Franconian Heights

Highlight • Viewpoint

The old half-timbered houses of the 1275-year-old town of Burgbernheim fit gently into the original landscape at the foot of the northern Frankenhöhe. From the Schauberg, the highest elevation near the city, visitors can let their gaze wander over the picturesque small town and the Aischgrund in the direction of the Steigerwald. But above all, from up here you can imagine the almost endless expanse of meadow orchards along the Frankenhöhe. According to a census from 1965, there are 30,000 orchard trees in the Burgbernheim urban area.
