Spring is one of the most beautiful times of the year – especially in Bayreuth (and the surrounding area). While the city and its surroundings are often overrun by tourists in summer (especially during the festival season), April is a perfect time for a particularly relaxed short vacation. The weather is mild, nature awakens to new life, and the cultural offerings of the city are diverse and less crowded. Ideal for a quiet yet varied stay with family, friends, or even as a couple.
Spring in the nature of Bayreuth and surroundings: Snowdrops, Pasque flowers, and more
The nature around Bayreuth shows its most beautiful side in spring. Snowdrops, Pasque flowers, leather flowers, liverworts, and violets bloom in the Franconian Switzerland, for example, in the upper Aufseß valley, which is about a 25-minute drive away, enchanting the landscape. The Franconian Switzerland invites you to hike right now, leading through picturesque villages and over gentle hills and through untouched valleys. Nature lovers also "bloom" directly in the city: In the Ecological-Botanical Garden of the University of Bayreuth, wonderful plants also bloom during this time. A walk through the Hofgarten perfectly rounds off the nature experience – here you can enjoy peace in the middle of the city and admire the budding colors of nature.
Cultural highlights in spring
Of course, Bayreuth also has amazing cultural offerings in spring! After all, the Margravial Opera House, Festival Hall, New Palace, Eremitage & Co. are also open to visitors in April. Exciting events are also taking place: The Bayreuth Easter Festival, for example, which offers classical music at the highest level, is a must for all music lovers. But there is also amazing entertainment for fans of rock, pop, theater, opera, and dance in spring. Additionally, the museums in Bayreuth and the surrounding area, such as the Richard Wagner Museum or the Art Museum, offer wonderful insights into art, history, and culture – and all without the summer visitor crowds!
Hiking and cycling: Start the spring actively
Bayreuth and its surroundings are a paradise for hikers and cyclists in spring. Especially the nearby Franconian Switzerland with its distinctive rock towers and romantic valleys is a particularly beautiful destination at this time. Hikers and cyclists can wonderfully experience spring here - without the summer rush.
Easter fountains in Franconian Switzerland – an extra "must" for all tradition and custom lovers
In spring, the region also experiences a very special highlight every year: the decoration of the so-called "Easter fountains." In many villages of the nearby Franconian Switzerland, the fountains are adorned with beautiful flowers and colorful eggs around Easter. This custom is particularly worth seeing and is considered one of the most beautiful traditions of the region by many. If you are in Bayreuth at this time, you should not miss the opportunity to admire the Easter fountains in the area. An overview of the decoration times and the most beautiful individual locations can be found on the Franconian Switzerland website.
Relaxation in the surroundings (or even right on site)
After an active day in nature and at the Easter fountains, you can wonderfully relax in the thermal baths and pools of the area: In the Lohengrin Thermal Baths or in the Bayreuth City Pool within the city limits - or alternatively in the Obernsees Thermal Baths (only 20 minutes by car away). For those who want something a bit more special, we also offer a (optionally bookable) barrel sauna event directly on the hotel grounds, where you can relax in pleasant temperatures and in good company.
