Why this route?

  • An Erlangen route with Steinbach, Weller, Entlas Bräu, Krapp-Bräu and Hofbräu Oberle.
  • Erlangen centre, the Burgberg and western districts
  • Middle Franconian city base
Planning note

From the station to the Burgberg cellars

Erlangen’s station, city centre and Burgberg sit close enough for a half day or evening. Brewing history and rock cellars can be explored without a rural onward journey.

Recommended pace

Good for a half day or evening. Leave more buffer around events and cellar openings.

Tweak this route

  • Connect the centre and Burgberg first.
  • If arriving by rail, check the return trip first.
  • Visit the cellars only in their serving season.

Plan realistically

Practical before heading out

  • Check cellars, events and serving times seasonally. For short visits, trim the route to the centre and the Burgberg.
  • Use this route as a starting point. Before you set off, plan realistically where to cut it short, when to take breaks and how to get home.
