Velburg

Built around a medieval castle, Velburg grew into a small Upper Palatinate town on the limestone plateau of the Franconian Alb. The ruins of Velburg Castle rise above its historic centre, recalling the settlement’s role as the seat of local lords. Beyond the town, karst terrain shaped in Jurassic rock includes dry valleys, woodland and caves. The nearby König-Otto-Tropfsteinhöhle, a public show cave in the St. Colomann district, gives this geology a tangible focus. Velburg is part of Bavaria’s Neumarkt district, between the larger centres of Nuremberg and Regensburg.
