Forchheim City Wall

Highlight • Historical Site

Forchheim's stately fortifications were built in the mid-16th century based on the Italian model and withstood the Thirty Years' War. The wall was completed in the 18th century with the construction of bastions in the French style.

Hebendanz Brewery

Highlight • Pub

The pub of the Neder Brewery is a special place in Forchheim. Not only the original wooden beam ceiling from the 16th century exudes a homely charm, but also the inventory was left as it was around 60 years ago. Good Franconian beer!

Zwinger Bastion, Forchheim

Highlight • Historical Site

Part of the surviving Baroque fortification of Forchheim is the Zwinger Bastion (built in 1657 - after the Thirty Years' War) with a wall from the Bastion of the Saltorturm to the rest of the northern moated castle (protection of the Wiesentkanal exit).
A small hint, no one knows that, as I can remember from my childhood: In the context of the construction of the RMD-channel - the dammed in Forchheimer area as running water of the Regnitz and Wiesent - the groundwater level rose sharply. At that time, this required a backfilling of the upstream ditches by several meters (4 m?). Of course, this was a lot more powerful in terms of fastening technology. The fortress ditches used to be flooded over the Wiesent canals in times of threat.

Old houses right on the banks of the Wiesent River. Always look very romantic.

Kammerer's Mill (Leaning House), Forchheim

Highlight • Historical Site

The Kammerersmühle in Wiesentstrasse is not only an eye-catcher because of its pretty half-timbered structure. The building, built in 1698, has sunk on one side towards the Wiesent over the years and was therefore christened "Leaning House" by the Forchheimers. In 1910, the mill was taken out of service and now houses a restaurant where visitors can enjoy the stylish rooms.

A lovely little tour with Angela and Günter. We even had ice cream at the end. Then we continued by car to the Komootler meeting at the Schmausenkeller. Thanks to Armin and Sylvia for organizing it 👍
Greetings 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Oh, there was actually a rainy spell today, from 11 to 3. So off to Forchheim.
First a little through the town and then to the other side of the Regnitz.
Back in the old town, we walked a bit past the old fortifications before heading to the Christmas market. In Forchheim there is also a (unfortunately not marked) nativity …
