Lichtenfels

Lichtenfels sits on the Upper Main in Bavaria’s Upper Franconia, where the river valley lies between the Franconian Forest and the Franconian Jura. Long associated with basket making, the town is known as Germany’s basket city, a tradition reflected in local craft and commerce. Above the Main valley, the pilgrimage Basilica of Vierzehnheiligen is one of the region’s major Baroque landmarks, designed by the architect Balthasar Neumann. Nearby Banz Abbey adds another prominent historic presence to the surrounding hills. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Lichtenfels and Upper Franconia.
