Waldstrandbad Windsbach

Highlight • Rest Area

Very idyllic natural swimming pool. A nice opportunity for refreshment in summer. Due to the renovation a few years ago, the pool lost some of its wildness, but it is still very different from the "normal" outdoor pools. In the entrance area of the bathroom there is also a small kiosk with seating for something to eat or drink during a break.

In Höfstetten - a district of Spalt - the Erlbach flows into the Franconian Rezat. Very beautifully located, an idyllic sight. Unfortunately no gastronomy.

Historic Old Town of Spalt

Highlight • Historical Site

Altstadt Spalt, a hop city with a heart.
More than twelve hundred years of history characterize life in the hopping metropolis of Franconia. A sense of tradition, old walls and impressive half-timbered buildings convey a historical flair. In the local museum, the craftsmen's rooms and the fire brigade museum, the history of the city comes to life. Around the city extends an ancient cultural landscape with fruit and hop gardens. The city was founded by a Benedictine abbey around the year 800. Historic history towers and gates still bear witness to this eventful history. Explore the historic old town with our city tours.
