Pretzfeld is a useful town for jumping off into the Fränkische Schweiz (Franconian Switzerland). It’s on the railway line from Forchheim to Ebermannstadt and while both of those towns would probably make a better base with regard to amenities, it is close to many hiking trails and small regional breweries. It also is home to Nikl-Bräu and one of the top Bierkellers, the Pretzfelder Keller.
