River Cruises Collection: Walking Tour of Forchheim
Overview
Discover the charm of Forchheim's "Little Venice" where the iconic leaning "Kammerer's Mill" tilts dramatically toward the Wiesent River, surrounded by historic fish boxes (Fischkästen) that showcase the town's fishing heritage. You'll pass the Synagogendenkmal memorial, honoring Forchheim's once-thriving Jewish community whose synagogue was destroyed during Kristallnacht in 1938. Don't miss the quirky carvings on the Renaissance-style Town Hall, the impressive 57-meter bell tower of St. Martin Church, and the distinctive "Red Wall" bastion before ending your tour by the Bishop's Castle (Kaiserpfalz).
