Half-timbered houses, a picturesque town gate and a castle at an impressive height above the town. Hilpoltstein combines many of the things that make up Franconian Switzerland.

The eastern city gate, also known as the “Upper Gate”, is now the gatehouse above Bundesstraße 2 and is a listed building. Great view with the castle in the background.

Hiltpoltstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle is privately owned, so it can only be admired from a distance. The church was picturesquely built into a rock massif.

Peace Linden

Highlight • Natural Monument

This linden tree, the "70iger Lindl", was planted as a symbol of reconciliation with France after the war in 1870/1871. Nice place for a break with a great view, a seating area and a field cross.
