Tettau: im Frankenwald
Tettau occupies a settled valley amid the wooded uplands of the Franconian Forest in northern Bavaria, close to the Thuringian border. The municipality is shaped by scattered homes, small fields and meadows set between forested ridges, a pattern typical of this highland edge of Upper Franconia. Tettau is closely associated with porcelain manufacture: Porzellanmanufaktur Tettau was founded in 1794, beginning a tradition that still defines the locality’s identity. The surrounding land alternates between cultivated slopes and managed woodland, while the village’s compact rural fabric reflects the quieter, craft-based side of northern Bavaria.

Tettau combines a long manufacturing tradition with a forest-bound upland setting in a way that reflects its position in the Franconian Forest, close to Bavaria’s border with Thuringia. Part of the Kronach district in Upper Franconia, the municipality belongs to a landscape of wooded ridges and scattered settlements rather than the large urban centres of northern Bavaria. Porcelain is central to its identity: the Tettau porcelain manufactory was founded in 1794, continuing a craft associated with the town for generations. The surrounding Franconian Forest is also a recognised hiking region, with routes linking villages and woodland.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
