The
Aisch Valley Beer Trail - (Aischgründer Bierstraße)
Unique in Germany
Lying between Bamberg and Rothenburg, the Aisch Valley in the Steiger Forest
can look back on a long tradition of beer and the art of brewing. Here the
Aisch Valley Beer Trail runs for about 50 km between Bad Windsheim and
Uehlfeld. Along the route 7 breweries and numerous typically Franconian inns
invite passers-by to come in and sit awhile.
Beer has been brewed according to the strict precepts of the old German
Edict of Purity in the Aisch Valley since 1639. That’s why it’s inextricably
entwined with the culture and the history of this enchanting region of
Franconia. Taste the beer from the small eight Franconian family breweries;
each house’s product has its own special characteristics and individual
taste.
In the Franconian Open Air Museum (Fränkisches Freilandmuseum) you can visit
a whole section of 3 buildings dealing with beer, and encounter the ancient
tradition of the art of brewing - an experience for young and old. But a
beer trail must also live in the present. The Beer Bike Route and the Beer
Walking Route invite you to experience this, to find out about this region
and its wooded landscape, to stop by at the breweries and taste their
delicious products in one of the inns along the Aisch Valley Beer Trail.
