Tent and pitch in the green
A stop at Kulmbach, for one night or to recharge your batteries. The site is located on the Beer and Castles Route; above the town sits Plassenburg on its hill. If you set out early for the hiking trails in the surrounding area, you'll first hear only your own footsteps in the leaves. The host doesn't reveal much, so there's not much more to say here either: a place to park, a night's rest, then on towards Franconian Switzerland. Coffee in the morning, then up to the castle.1
What Hinterland writes

Sights in the area1
Plassenburg Castle
The Renaissance castle above Kulmbach, home to the German Pewter Figure Museum with thousands of figures. The rainy-day classic when the trails are too wet to walk.
Rosenberg Fortress
A sprawling fortress above Kronach in the Frankenwald, never taken. The view over the rooftops rewards the climb, even without visiting the museum.
Ehrenbürg (Walberla)
The flat-topped hill at the edge of Franconian Switzerland, a short climb to the summit cross. On clear days the view runs far; an outing for dry weather.
