Experience Franconian Switzerland: steam locomotives and culinary delights!

Steam locations in Franconian Switzerland are very popular and are organized by the Museum Association Ebermannstadt. These events are aimed at young and old and offer a nostalgic journey through the picturesque landscape. A special highlight is the reinterpretation of the traditional Court of Schäufele by a young chef in Forchheim, which designs regional cooking in a modern way.

The region around Streitberg and the Burgruine Neideck is considered a romantic place of longing. In addition, there is the host couple in Muggendorf, which is devoted to the Franconian land kitchen. Numerous inns offer a wide range of menu offers, including:

• Gasthof Resengörg in Ebermannstadt: Franconian ox breast with horseradish sauce
• Restaurant Zum Alten Zollhaus in Forchheim: Fourth of the deer with spring morches
• Gasthaus Zur Post in Egloffstein: Tagliatelle with Franconian crayfish
• Gasthof zur Wolfsschlucht in Muggendorf: Franconian bohnackers with smoked stomach and raw dumplings
• Essart in Ebermannstadt: Franconian wok vegetables with wild hemp spaghetti

steam path and leisure facilities

The first Museum Railway Franconia regularly runs on the Ebermannstadt-Behringersmühle route in summer. The holding stations include Ebermannstadt (Startbahnhof), Muggendorf and Behringersmühle (destination station), whereby the travelers have the opportunity to get out of the holding stations and to explore interesting places, such as the nature park information center in Muggendorf.

There is also the possibility for a hike between the Gößweinstein and Behringersmühle train stations. The travelers receive the "Franconian Treasure map" that offers ideas for experiences along the route. In addition, special trips such as pleasure trips and Santa Claus trips are offered, and private events can also be booked. Hourly train connections to Ebermannstadt through Agilis trains from Forchheim, with a connection in Forchheim to Bamberg and Nuremberg, provide accessibility at half an hour.

The steam train hike enables travelers to use hiking trails without having to return to the parking lot. An 80-page brochure is available for further information on the steam train, and dogs are welcome on the train, but must be secured on a leash and possibly with a muzzle.
