Löbelstein

Lobelstein lies in the upper Itz valley, on Coburg’s eastern edge where built-up neighbourhoods meet the rolling, wooded terrain of Upper Franconia. The locality belongs to the wider Coburg area, a former ducal residence with a historic centre west of the river. Veste Coburg, the fortress on a hill above the town, is the region’s defining landmark; Martin Luther stayed there for several months in 1530 during the Diet of Augsburg. Coburg also gave its name to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a dynasty prominent in European royal history. Close to the Bavarian–Thuringian border, Lobelstein reflects the links between Franconia and central Germany. Browse additional webcams from the Coburg area to extend your view of Upper Franconia.
