The Amberg - Sulzbach region is a favorite tourist area offering many attractions and activities for both young and young at heart. It is nestled in the geographical heart of Bavaria.
Whether you like hiking or biking, horseback riding, canoeing, golfing, climbing or even skiing in the summer you will find all that and much more in this lovely area. You will can discover the forests and the romantic valleys of the "Vils" and the "Lauterach", two creeks.
Have a pass on for old castles, some of them ruins, you can spend days seeing them. There are over 60 awaiting you.

Learn about medieval steel making which was a booming industry. Visit the "Bergbau- und Industriemuseum Ostbayern". It is located in the "Hammerherrenschloss" in Kümmersbruck - Theuern.

Visit the "Maximiliansgrotte" and the "Osterhöhle", two caves the first one close to Auerbach the other one close to Neukirchen.

Some of our friends love biking. and some have even transported their bikes to Europe. I think it's more convenient to rent one and explore the country on the well kept bicycle paths. Stop at one of the beer gardens and have some refreshments.
The re are always some small festivals or events going on and your participation is always welcome.
