Time: 11:00 to 13:00


High above the rooftops of Erlangen rises the castle hill – a place steeped in history and still retaining its special charm. Where sandstone was once quarried for magnificent buildings, idyllic paths, enchanting gardens, and charming villas now invite visitors to marvel.

The castle hill was a quarry, festival ground and place of longing all at once – and is still a living piece of the city's history.

Join us on an exciting journey through hidden corners, listen to surprising anecdotes, and enjoy views that once inspired princes, students, and artists. Discover the castle hill not just as a beautiful backdrop, but as a place that continues to shape and enchant Erlangen to this day.
