New Braunfels

Among Texas cities, New Braunfels stands out for the spring-fed Comal River, which runs through downtown before joining the Guadalupe River. Founded in 1845 by German settlers, the city still reflects that heritage in its place names, food traditions and annual Wurstfest, a celebration of German culture. The Gruene Historic District preserves late-19th-century buildings beside the Guadalupe, while Gruene Hall, opened in 1878, remains a noted music venue. Set where the Texas Hill Country meets the Interstate 35 corridor, New Braunfels has a river-centered character distinct within Central Texas.
