Sightseeing

The restored Lupburg Castle, which was destroyed by the Swedes in the Thirty Years War, tower over the city's cobblestone market square, which also features a beautiful medieval church. The castle was restored in 2012-13 and now houses government administrative offices. The city of Parsberg and the U.S. Army installation at Hohenfels are nearby, as is the lovely Altmuhl River valley. In addition to these, numerous castles and ruins are in the area.

Clubs

  • The Society for Creative Anachronism has a local branch, the Stronghold of Nebelwald, which stretches from the Parsberg-Lupburg area in the far south to Vilseck in the north.
