Kulmbach Germany

Day 84/Germany 7

Travelled: 25km to Kulmbach Germany. Parked in motorhome area.

Mark had a great start to the day with a visit to a getranke shop and bought Augustinia beers.

Kulmbach is a picturesque town that is overlooked by Plassenburg castle. What drew us to the here tho was its annual beer festival ranked in the top 10. The town is well know for its beers and of course it has its own Bratwurst that is uniquely served in aniseed rolls.

We found a nice spot to park Bluey and followed the stream into town. 

The beer hall was open and the oompah band was playing as we downed a stein (1 litre of beer) and ate a pork knuckle.

We decided to help the digestion with a walk through the historic centre.

Then out to the brewery. Unfortunately the museum was not here and was closed today so we recovered in Bluey.

Around 7pm we headed back to the festival. The atmosphere was quite different with many more people about, most wearing the traditional lederhosen (leather shorts) and dirndl (ladies dress). The beer hall was pumping and the music was great with the band playing songs that got the people up dancing on the seats. It was great to watch. Later the party would go on without us we sought our bed.
