At the Lower Gate you will find two cafés, a butcher's shop, a small restaurant, a farm shop and a pub with Franconian specialties. So if you're a little hungry, you've come to the right place 😉

It is a very beautiful sight how you are welcomed through the Lower Gate in Lichtenfels. A very beautiful backdrop that continues behind the goal. There is also the opportunity to sit down and take a break directly in front of and behind the goal.

It was never conquered, never subdued: Rosenberg Fortress is one of the most beautiful and largest fortresses in Europe. The former Bamberg bishop's castle and later state fortress rises steeply above the old town of Kronach on the Rosenberg hill. The oldest surviving document mentioning the name "Rosenberg" dates from 1249. The various construction phases are clearly visible, from the medieval keep through the walls and towers of the 15th and 16th centuries to the late Baroque pentagon, illustrating the ever-changing demands of defensive construction throughout the centuries. The juxtaposition of medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque fortification architecture gives the complex its significant place in the history of German military construction. The renowned architects Maximilian von Welsch and Balthasar Neumann were involved in the expansion of the fortress. The fortress was never captured or defeated by enemies. In 1888, the city acquired the castle as a property without military significance. The underground tunnel system, which can be visited as part of the fortress tours, is also of particular interest.

The early baroque fortress gate, one of the most beautiful in Germany, was probably built by Antonio Petrini.
