Forchheim: Annafest Beer Festival, Kaiserpfalz Fortress, and the Franconian Switzerland Gateway in Oberfranken
Around 30,400 people live in Forchheim, a town in Oberfranken (Upper Franconia) in Bayern. The Annafest, held each July in the Kellerwald forest above the town, is one of the largest traditional beer festivals in Franconia, with over twenty beer cellars dug into the hillside serving local brews under chestnut trees. The Kaiserpfalz, a 14th-century bishops' fortress, stands in the centre.
Forchheim sits at the entrance to the Fraenkische Schweiz (Franconian Switzerland), a karst landscape of limestone cliffs, caves and castle ruins. Erlangen is about 15 kilometres south. Bamberg is roughly 25 kilometres north. The Regnitz and Wiesent rivers meet here. Ebermannstadt is upstream in the Fraenkische Schweiz. The Ludwig-Donau-Main-Kanal, a historic canal, passes through.
