Forchheim old town breweries

Forchheim is strongly connected with beer-cellar culture, but the town itself also has a compact brewery scene. This route is intentionally short and works well as the start or end of a Forchheim beer day.

Why this route?

  • A manageable Forchheim route with Neder, Hebendanz, Eichhorn and Greif.
  • Forchheim town centre
  • Small town, strong density
Planning note

Old-town breweries within a short walk

Neder, Hebendanz and Greif sit close to the old town and station. That leaves time for the market square, a meal and—in season—the walk to the Kellerwald.

Recommended pace

Half a day or a long evening is enough for the old town. Add the Kellerwald and it becomes a full-day visit.

Tweak this route

  • If you add a cellar visit, choose fewer breweries.
  • If arriving by train, check the return trip first.
  • This is the simplest first route through Forchheim.
