Hiking

Stroll through a market square, marvel at historic half-timbered houses, and hike up to a castle complex: All this awaits you on this varied tour through Coburg.

It starts at Coburg train station. You can reach it from Nuremberg by regional train in about an hour. From the station, stroll directly into the town center and the market square. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, the weekly market is bustling.

The next highlight awaits you: the Rose Garden. There, you can take a stroll through the Palm House—with cacti, orchids, and, of course, palm trees. You'll then stroll back through the town and its alleyways, some of which have a medieval feel.

The Middle Ages are also the theme of your short mountain stage. You'll hike up to Veste Coburg, a large and well-preserved castle complex that towers over the town. Here, you can enjoy panoramic views before making your way back.

Coburg Fortress

Highlight • Castle

This castle is armed to the teeth - which is why it has never been taken by force of arms in its history (its garrison was only persuaded to surrender during the Thirty Years' War with the help of a forged letter). The art collection inside the castle is particularly worth seeing.

October 13, 2024,Veste Coburg (mit Museum) mit Tochter und Schwiegertochter 🏰 😊 und ein bisschen drumherum 😅

Finally it worked and I was able to redeem my birthday present 😅
The museum in the fortress is very spacious and there is a lot to see. The special exhibition "Gold and Damascus steel" was very interesting... The best thing, however, was the hunting inlay room, just wow 🤩

Today we walked through the beautiful town of Coburg with its magnificent buildings and Ehrenburg Castle. We also enjoyed a cold beer 🍺 and a Coburg bratwurst in the market square. Afterwards, we went to Veste Coburg. A very beautiful and well-maintained castle. Always worth a visit.

A great day with good weather 😃

Although it was really cold tonight we slept well and long. Hoping for good, dry weather, we headed into town. Our breakfast café is now a Corona test center 😕. But we soon found the café bistro "Hallo Dolly" at the doll museum - very charming café, very nice owner, very good and cheap cakes etc. Definitely recommendable - hopefully …

Visit to my home town of Coburg with a hike through the Hofgarten to the "Veste" fortress. A few days ago it snowed here too, at an altitude of almost 300 m. But not much of it is left. As children we used to go tobogganing in the Hofgarten every day. There was thick snow for weeks. That was once. …
