From God’s Garden to Europe’s Samba capital
“I climb up to Saint Vitas of Staffelstein and see the countryside surrounding the River Main in front of me.” When visiting the Upper Main Valley - Coburg Region it is very easy to understand and relate to Viktor von Scheffel’s enthusiasm for the Franconian region and countryside that is expressed so wonderfully in his “Frankenlied” (’Franconian song’).
When approaching from the south you get a fantastic view of the Upper Main Valley: The baroque gem that is the Banz Monastery and the Rococo Vierzehnheiligen pilgrimage basilica are located on both sides of the beautiful valley between Adam Riese’s birthplace of Bad Staffelstein and Lichtenfels, the home to the German basket-making industry.
It is certainly not surprising that this valley is known affectionately as “God’s Garden”. The unique “Upper Main Musical Summer” series of concerts take place in many of the area’s architectural masterpieces.
A visit would not be complete without a walk up Staffelberg hill, where the Franconian countryside really does quite literally “lie at one’s feet”… From this point on it is already possible to see the Veste Coburg fortress, known as the “Franconian Crown”, which is yet another of the region’s highlights.
However, while on the journey to Coburg there are many charming and attractive towns with wonderful half-timbered buildings, such as Sesslach, Burgkunstadt, Altenkunststadt, Marktzeuln and Weismain, and idyllic landscapes, like the Kleinziegenfelder Valley, that are well worth visiting.
Roughly 20kms to the north of Lichtenfels, Coburg is located among some delightful and hilly countryside, and unlike many towns of a similar size (Coburg has a population of roughly 42,000) this former seat of the Dukes of Coburg possesses an abundance of works of art, historical monuments, castles and palaces that truly outstrips its size.
Many of these are thanks to the Dukes of the former duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha which, through its marriage policy, established links with almost all the European royal families.
Now Coburg is regarded as the “Samba Capital” of Europe due to its hosting of the International Samba Festival every July.
Furthermore, the town has a truly diverse cultural programme that ranges from the classical to the modern, including operas, operettas, revues, ballets and plays, which take place in both the magnificent State Theatre (Landestheater) and St Moriz Church, the main church of the town’s Protestant community and where Martin Luther once preached. There are also regular open-air concerts on Coburg’s Palace Square.
The whole Coburg region is home to many castles and palaces. Callenberg Castle, Rosenau Castle and Tambach Palace, to name just three, are worth visiting.
Where the basket-making trade is the dominant industry in the Lichtenfels area, the doll-making, toy, and glass-painting industries are very much at home in the Coburg region.
The W Goebel porcelain factory where the world-famous M I Hummel figurines are made also ought not to be missed.
The region is home to numerous museums that are both a testament to history and the products of these traditional trades, such as Europe’s only wickerwork museum in Michelau, the doll museum in Coburg, the German Toy Industry Museum in Neustadt bei Coburg, the M I Hummel information centre and porcelain museum at the Goebel factory in Roedental, and the Old Christmas Factory with its historical Christmas museum located in Neustadt bei Coburg.
In addition, there are a number of arts and crafts markets that take place every year, such as the arts and crafts market in the old sheep farm in Ahorn at Whitsun and the famous basket market in Lichtenfels in September.
The International Doll Festival in Neustadt bei Coburg is a delight for children and adults alike.
For those wanting to have an active holiday, the region has a lot to offer. You can go rambling, go cycling, go in-line skating, play golf, go climbing or go sailing.
A visit to one of the region’s thermal baths would also be a wonderful and relaxing extra to any holiday. There’s the warmest saltwater spa at the Upper Main Thermal Springs in Bad Staffelstein or the Bad Rodach thermal spring, the only thermal baths to be home to a singing lifeguard.
Northern Bavaria’s largest deer park and the Museum of Hunting and Fishing in Tambach, the Sea Star Aquarium, the palm house and the Natural History Museum in Coburg are not simply for lovers of nature and wildlife alone.
Along with the many museums, the numerous arts and crafts markets and traditional events, such as decorating the fountains and wells for Easter, church fetes, Christmas markets, and shooting festivals all give a valuable insight into traditional customs and local history.
Shopping is also a delight and an experience not to be missed in this region. From weekly markets, arts and crafts markets, and flea markets to modern stores and factory outlets at world-famous firms, there truly is something for everybody here.
Culinary variety, local breweries and wine tasting, camping holidays, youth hostelling, or staying in a 4-star hotel are all an essential part of the package this region has to offer.
Do you have any further questions?
The Touristboard is always happy to be at your service and they will be glad to help you with any arrangements for your holiday in this region.

My husband and I recently had a baby, and family and friends have been dropping by regularly to visit and see our new addition. We live near my family, so they’ve been over almost every day while my husband’s family is spread out all over the United States. Since his family can’t exactly drop by for obvious reasons, we’ve gotten a lot of cards, letters and gifts in the mail. One day the doorbell to our apartment rang and I opened it to find a delivery person with a gift basket. After thanking him, I took the basket and placed it on the table with all the cards and letters we received in the mail that day. I thought I would wait until my husband got home from work so we could open them together.
As I looked at the gift basket, I noticed it was filled with European chocolates. I briefly thought that was an odd choice and was going to look at who sent it when my newborn awoke and let me know it was time for the bottle. After feeding her and putting her back to sleep, I had a bit of a sweet tooth so I decided to open the gift basket and have a chocolate. It was delicious. One chocolate turned to two and two quickly turned to four and before I knew it, I had eaten almost half the basket. This was no small feat as there were a lot of chocolates. I guess I wasn’t quite ready to give up the eating habits I had before the baby was born. As I was enjoying the chocolates, my husband came home and I mentioned that whoever in his family that sent the gift basket really knew what they were doing.
I thought it a bit odd at first (expecting a baby gift basket, if anything) but once I bit into the first chocolate, I knew that whoever had sent this realized just how much I needed a quality chocolate break from the stress of all that comes with having your first baby. This made me remember that I forgot to check the card, so I asked my husband to look since he was up. As it turns out, this gift basket I had halfway devoured was intended for our next door neighbor. It was delivered to us by accident. Here I am, relaxing on the couch with a chocolate in my hand when my husband breaks the news to me. With my chocolate filled mouth wide open, I looked at him so seriously as if to say, “What are we going to do?” He started laughing, which made me start laughing as I now saw the humor in the situation. We ordered a new basket to be delivered the next day for our neighbor and also went by to explain what had happened.
We all had a good laugh over it and I was relieved since I had never formally met our neighbor and didn’t know what to expect. I’m actually quite glad that this happened. I got to meet our neighbor and learned a valuable lesson about checking the card before you open the gift. I also know what I will send my friends and family after they welcome a new addition. I’m sending chocolate.
