Kulmbach, Bavarian district capital in Upper Franconia, Germany
The medieval town of Kulmbach sits at an elevation of 304 meters, surrounded by the Franconian Forest and Fichtel Mountains where two Main rivers meet.
The Plassenburg Castle, first documented in 1135, served as a central fortress for the Hohenzollern family until Napoleon ordered its partial demolition in 1806.
The German Tin Soldier Museum inside Plassenburg Castle displays the largest collection of historical miniature figures, showcasing military and civilian life through centuries.
The tourist information center at Buchbindergasse 5 provides maps, accommodation details, and schedules for the regular train connections to major Bavarian cities.
The University of Life Sciences, part of the University of Bayreuth, focuses on food and health research, reflecting the town's strong connection to brewing traditions.
