Coburg – Roses, Knights and Bratwurst | Tour S40

Parking was available at the Rosengarten in Karchestrasse.

Finally it worked and I was able to redeem my birthday present 😅 The museum in the fortress is very spacious and there is a lot to see. The special exhibition "Gold and Damascus steel" was very interesting... The best thing, however, was the hunting inlay room, just wow 🤩

Today we walked through the beautiful town of Coburg with its magnificent buildings and Ehrenburg Castle. We also enjoyed a cold beer 🍺 and a Coburg bratwurst in the market square. Afterwards, we went to Veste Coburg. A very beautiful and well-maintained castle. Always worth a visit. A great day with good weather 😃

Although it was really cold tonight we slept well and long. Hoping for good, dry weather, we headed into town. Our breakfast café is now a Corona test center 😕. But we soon found the café bistro "Hallo Dolly" at the doll museum - very charming café, very nice owner, very good and cheap cakes etc. Definitely recommendable - hopefully it doesn't go broke like so many shops here in Coburg. That's sad 😔. After the café, the Veste Coburg was our destination. On the way through the Hofgarten - it is beautiful and idyllic and reminds a little of an English landscape garden - we were surprised by a heavy downpour 🌧️💧☔😝. Since we took a lot of time to visit the Veste, everything dried up again. There is currently a great exhibition on the Coburg Glass Prize in the Veste. "... The Coburg Glass Prize is the most important competition for contemporary glass art in Europe. The accompanying exhibition at the Veste Coburg and in the European Museum for Modern Glass in Rödental presents works by 90 international artists. From April 10 to April 25 . September 2022 the focus here is on new artistic tendencies relating to glass as a material. The highly topical themes and the variety of techniques used make the Coburg show a particularly exciting highlight in the International Year of Glass 2022..." There are absolutely fascinating and impressive pieces of glass art to be seen, some quite astounding because they don't look like glass at first glance. The rest of the castle is great too. Very large, very well preserved and there are many rooms with different themes to see (weapons, glass, marquetry, paintings, furnishings...). Absolutely worth it. Knowledge of the day: Even if our planned culinary trip through Coburg didn't work out at all, the visit is definitely worth it, if only because of the great glass art exhibition, which we didn't know anything about before... 😇👍🤩. 👩👨🏼

From Bad Neustadt with the Coburg bus to the old town of Coburg.. I can only recommend this beautiful historic city and the Veste Coburg and definitely eat an original Coburg bratwurst on the market square, which is grilled with an open fire on pine cones 😋.. I had mine the bratwurst and then the ice cream, after what feels like 1000 stairs, also deserved 👍😀 Photo 34 should of course be called the rider's house

The Samba Festival was taking place in Coburg all weekend. It was a perfect opportunity to visit the fortress again! You could hear the samba rhythms upstairs, too!

Visit to my home town of Coburg with a hike through the Hofgarten to the "Veste" fortress. A few days ago it snowed here too, at an altitude of almost 300 m. But not much of it is left. As children we used to go tobogganing in the Hofgarten every day. There was thick snow for weeks. That was once. The Coburg bratwurst, roasted over an open fire from spruce cones ("Coola") smell as always on the Coburg market square. The best sausages in the world. shrink-wrapped to take away,

A short walk through Coburg's old town to the fortress (Veste Coburg). A somewhat rainy excursion today. 🌧️
