Great destination, but during the holidays when the weather is nice, it is very, very crowded on the Kreuzberg

Why come here? - because it is the holy mountain of the Franconians! Because everyone comes here, because tourism is here, because you are all tidy and don't wander around somewhere else and "we locals" have peace and quiet there ;-)
