Why this route?

  • A Franconian Switzerland day with Klosterbrauerei Weissenohe, Lindenbräu, Friedmann, Hofmann and Elch-Bräu.
  • Weißenohe, Gräfenberg, Hohenschwärz and Thuisbrunn
  • Franconian Switzerland
Planning note

From Weißenohe to Gräfenberg

The Gräfenbergbahn links two possible starting points with a monastery brewery, a small town and trails through southern Franconian Switzerland. Walking distance and the return determine which breweries lie along the day’s route.

Recommended pace

Start early, set realistic breaks and do not automatically force every stop.

Tweak this route

  • With limited time, focus on Weißenohe and Gräfenberg.
  • For a walking focus, check weather and elevation first.
  • For groups, check opening times and seating beforehand.
