Nice, typically Franconian town on the north shore of the Altmühlsee. In the city you will find some well-maintained, old buildings - including the Fachwerktorhaus, the churches of St. John's Church and St. James. You will also find several restaurants and inns here. Thanks to numerous holiday apartments and guesthouses, Muhr is also the perfect starting point for cycling tours and hikes in the Franconian Lake District.

Historic Old Town of Merkendorf

Highlight • Historical Site

A completely preserved city wall from the 14th century with eight city wall towers and three city gates is a testimony to an eventful history. A special gem is the historic old town with the beautiful town hall from the 15th century and the lifelike herb fountain. In the local history museum in the tithe barn you will find an extensive local history collection.
