Kulmbach: Plassenburg Fortress and Tin Figure Museum, Bayerisches Brauereimuseum Beer Heritage, and the Oberfranken Town at the Red and White Main Confluence
Kulmbach has about 27,600 inhabitants and lies at the confluence of the Roter Main and Weisser Main in Oberfranken (Upper Franconia), Bayern. The Plassenburg, a large Renaissance fortress on the hill above, houses the Zinnfigurenmuseum (tin figure museum) with the world's largest collection. Kulmbach's brewing tradition supports several active breweries, and the Bayerisches Brauereimuseum documents this heritage.
Bayreuth is about 20 kilometres south. Kronach lies roughly 25 kilometres north. Lichtenfels is nearby to the west. The Frankenwald (Franconian Forest) begins north of the town. The Bierwoche (beer week), held annually, draws visitors from the region. Kulmbach sits at the transition between the Main valley and the Franconian highland.
