Relaxed yet full of life and passion for his craft, his subject and his niche, Kevin is 'The Picasso' of tour guiding in Germany. I learned so much about details and points of view, you'll never read in a book, or notice in a photo. It's great to learn from someone who makes a difference to the way we look at life, and shows that we should and can learn from history. Thanks for an awesome day Kevin.

Part of what makes this region so unique is the number of small family run brewpubs that dot the countryside. This particular area is blessed with great rural scenery which passes through some pretty small villages. During the 9-Hours Brewing Heartland Hiking Experience in Germany, you'll experience a part of Bavaria rarely seen by tourists as you hike the 10 miles through the heart of this brewing paradise. The brewpubs are from another time, simple but of great value. Regional specialties like Geräuchertes (smoked ham) go perfectly with the the very much local brews, often served via gravity dispense by the brewer himself. These are beers you're not going to find back home and they'll have you pining for them once back there. -Please not the Sunday departure follows a different route in a slightly different area and hence takes in different breweries and is about half the distance. This option is also possible on Saturday.

Inclusions: Transportation to and from hike via public transportation. , Guided 10-mile hike (shorter version available) through an area fondly called Franconian Tuscany.

Exclusions: We will be stopping a number of small rural brewpubs and all food and beverages are at your own expense., Food at brewpubs is also at your own expense.

Our family of five did a day-long beer hike with Rich in the area around Bamberg while on our Franconian/Bavarian holiday last August. Rich was an exceptional guide for the day, and this was quite possibly our favorite and most memorable day of the entire trip. Even our two 12-year-olds really enjoyed the day despite not being able to enjoy the beer (Spezi was available at all of our stops.) We were able to visit four wonderful local breweries (Brauerei Hönig, Brauerei Hölzlein, Brauerei Knoblach, and Brauerei Drei Kronen) before catching the last bus back from Memmelsdorf to Bamberg in the evening. In between, we covered about nine miles of some amazing Franconian countryside where we were the only people in sight. At one point I found myself simply awestruck that I was walking with my family through a forest in Bavaria on a barely-marked trail, and I was so comfortable with Rich's competence that I wasn't anxious at all and could just enjoy the scenery around me. I can't recommend Rich's beer hikes highly enough... you'll gain lifelong memories!

7. Nuremberg World War 2 and Beer Tasting Tour

Suzart's Tour

The Major War Criminals Trial was held before the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg from November 20, 1945 to October 1, 1946. As a result of this trial, Courtroom 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice gained worldwide notoriety. From 1946 to 1949, 12 "Subsequent Trials" were held in the same courtroom before exclusively U. S. American military tribunals. . Still to this day, in the southeast corner of Nuremberg, the remains of structures located on the former Nazi Party Rally Grounds impress visitors with their immense proportions and stand as vivid testimony to the megalomania of the National Socialist regime. This area of 4 square miles was intended to be an impressive backdrop for the Nazi party rallies and serve to demonstrate their power not only to Germany, but to the entire world.

And outside the city walls, with their seven remaining well-preserved fortified towers, something quite different attracts us: a unique landscape of vineyards, gentle hills, orchards and stone structures. The town of Röttingen is truly full of riches, including a multitude of stones ...

For my husband and I, this was our first time exploring the area of Franconia, and we were really looking forward to trying the different types of beers and visiting the villages. This tour did not disappoint! Even with the extreme heat, Rich (our guide) was very accommodating. We took our time at each brewery and ordered some amazing food! Rich was very knowledgeable about the different types of beers and suggested ones that were to our liking. If you are looking for a tour that has great beer and gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture, than this is the one for you! Were looking forward to more hiking trips in the future!
