Altenburg - Bamberg

Has a rather expensive eating establishment on the property, but the views are great all around the grounds. We didn't eat there, but went to tour the outside and admire the view of Bamberg. Recommend walking up there via the green park way versus the streets.

We stopped here on our way out of town after seeing a great deal of old Bamberg. I would recommend the car or a trolley/bus to get up to this place as it has a fairly steep climb to it. The views are incredible and the food was really good too at this former castle now restuarant. You can pay 1 euro and go to the top of the tower if you wish otherwise admission is free to walk over the site and parking is right outside and that is free as well.

We ate our Sunday lunch here. Food and service were very good and atmosphere was excellent. It's not a very big place, so reservation is recommended if you are planning on eating on busy evenings. You can't beat the view of Bamberg from the castle on a clear day.

I always enjoyed visiting Altenburg when I used to live in Bamberg. Many years later, I was able to bring my sons with me. We climbed the tower, had a beer at the beer garden, and enjoyed looking at the wonderful vistas from atop the hills. We then walked back down the hill into town and continued our fun visit to Beautiful Bamberg.

A very nice place to dine both Lunch and Dinner. Great choice of Franconian & Bavarian Food as well as some intl Dishes, local Beers and Wine. Friendly tourist oriented staffs - speak some English. Of course you'd find other resto with much better food, but the view is excellent eventhough the price is a bit higher than the one at the same level. I dont need Underberg after a heavy meal there since one lap walk enough to release my tummy free :)
