Kulmbach stretches beside the White Main in Upper Franconia, where wooded hills shape the upper Main valley around the town. Above the centre stands Plassenburg, the former fortress of the Hohenzollern margraves and one of the region’s most recognisable silhouettes. Its courtyards and collections, including the German Tin Figure Museum, give the hill a role beyond its military past. Brewing is another lasting part of Kulmbach’s identity: the town is associated with Kulmbacher beer and is home to the Bavarian Brewery Museum.
