Since the 17th century, Erlangen brewers have been carving an extensive labyrinth of tunnels with impressive, church-nave-like caverns into the castle hill to use as natural cooling cellars for their beer. To this day, the historic rock cellars bear witness to this unique brewing tradition. Two of these cellars can currently be visited: the imposing Henninger Cellar with its expansive caverns, and the traditional Entla's Cellar, the oldest cellar on the hill.
For anyone wanting to learn more about the history of the cellars and Erlangen's beer culture, a guided tour through the extensive cellar labyrinth of the castle hill is just the thing. Join us on an exciting tour into "the heart of Erlangen" and discover a piece of living urban history.
Afterwards, the picturesque beer garden – under shady trees and lanterns – invites you to linger comfortably with a freshly tapped beer and Franconian specialties.
You can participate in the public tours without prior registration. A 0,5-liter glass of wine from the cellar is included in the tour price.
