Behind the Scenes – Special Tours in Bayreuth
Many Bayreuth visitors know the showrooms of the Margravial Opera House or the New Palace. But it is less known that there are also exclusive special tours (behind the scenes) that provide insights that are denied to "normal" visitors!
Mystical Places: For example, the Devil's Hole in Eckersdorf
"House-sized boulders, rugged rock crevices, rare mosses (and) natural streams leave visitors in awe," wrote the local newspaper about the deeply forested Rhätschlucht, which is not only an attraction in summer but also fascinates in winter: "At very low temperatures, the waterfalls and springs transform into wonderful ice curtains," the newspaper continued.
And all of this (and much more!) can be discovered just a few minutes' drive from Bayreuth!
Cultural Experiences: The Puppet Theater "Operla"
A true gem of the Bayreuth cultural scene! At Operla, classical and modern pieces are performed with lovingly designed puppet productions – an experience for young and old.
