Tradition & Culture

Bavarian hearty

Customs and traditions such as the Kirwa, the mountain festivals or the many manifestations of industrial history provide a great foundation for the diverse culture in the Amberg-Sulzbach region. Changing rulers and borders and a strategically important wealth of raw materials led to the construction of numerous castles and palaces. Monasteries and churches bear witness to the varied religious history of the Upper Palatinate vacation region. There are also numerous museums and many cultural events.
