Marktredwitz

Marktredwitz is a district town in northern Bavaria located in the Wunsiedel area. The town features a medieval core and sits where different regions converge geographically.

The town developed in medieval times into a regional trading center because of its location on major routes linking Bavaria and Bohemia. This strategic position shaped its role as a junction between two important regions.

The Altstadtfest takes place annually in the historic marketplace, featuring traditional Bavarian music, regional food specialties, and local performances. This gathering serves as a central meeting point where residents and visitors come together throughout the year.

The railway station connects the area to major cities like Nuremberg, Munich, and Hof while offering direct links to the Czech Republic. Visitors will find good connections for onward travel in multiple directions.

The area collaborated with neighboring Cheb in 2006 to organize a horticultural show across the border. This partnership shows how local communities can work together beyond territorial lines.
