Cities and towns

Tüchersfeld

The village of Tüchersfeld lies at the heart of Franconian Switzerland. With its striking rock formations and half-timbered houses that seem to cling to the cliffs, it is one of the most photographed sights in Franconian Switzerland.

👀 Viewpoint – Zeckenstein

The best view is from the Zeckenstein. It can be reached from the hiking car park on the outskirts of the village via a short alpine hiking trail – ‘alpine’ because the ascent to the viewpoint leads partly up steep metal steps right through the mountain. A route that’s an experience in itself, even if calling it ‘alpine’ is a bit of an exaggeration ;)

🏛 Franconian Switzerland Museum

The Franconian Switzerland Museum is situated amongst the ruins of one of the two castles that once stood here. It provides a detailed account of the region’s history. A key feature is the geological section, which offers information on the formation of the impressive rock formations. There is also an impressive archaeological and historical section.
