Altenburg Castle in Bamberg

Altenburg Castle in the small Bavarian town of Bamberg stands majestically on a hill to the east of the city, symbolizing a medieval landscape. Built in the 12th century, the castle now features reconstructed buildings housing historical exhibits and a traditional tavern where visitors can enjoy the local smoked beer. From the castle square, you can take in expansive views, overlooking the entire old town of Bamberg. The picturesque scenery, with its red rooftops and river, is especially stunning at sunset. How to get there: It’s about a 30-minute walk from Bamberg train station, following the signs uphill, or you can take bus number 9 and get off at the 'Altenburger Schloss' stop, followed by a 5-minute walk. The path is lined with lush green trees, making it a pleasant stroll. For a quieter experience, visit in the morning or evening to capture the most beautiful views of the old town with its interplay of light and shadow. The castle is free to visit, though some exhibits may require an admission fee. Pairing a visit to the castle with a day trip to Bamberg's UNESCO World Heritage old town offers a deeper sense of medieval Bavarian history. During autumn and winter, the hill can be windy, so it’s advisable to dress warmly.
