A river does not always originate from a single source. Often, several small rivers merge to form the main river. The Main has two defining headstreams. The origin of the Main is precisely the spot near Kulmbach (district of Steinenhausen) where these two headstreams meet. Only from this point onwards is the river officially called simply „Main“.

Behind the walls of Thurnau Castle lies a turbulent history. Several noble families expanded the original castle over the centuries into an extensive palace complex. Especially nice: You can not only look at a castle here, but also discover many small details and traces of the past during the tour.

From the terrace of the Schlossbräu, there is a magnificent view across the castle pond to Thurnau Castle. A beautiful place to linger with delicious Franconian cuisine and regional beer specialties.

The idyllic castle pond has a turbulent past. What today invites the most beautiful view of Thurnau Castle was a meadow for over 100 years. Only in 1978 was the area flooded again and redesigned into the current recreational area. The view across the water up to the castle is particularly beautiful.

Here, the castle and church are unusually connected. The wooden cloister leads directly from the former manor house to St. Laurentius Church – an architectural detail that you only truly notice when you stand under the bridge and look up. Inside the church, the Baroque stucco work and the colorful ceiling are particularly worthwhile.
