One of the best castles in Germany to visit, with fantastic tours and museums. The whole region around Kulmbach is beautiful, with many sites to visit and some of the best food and drink culture in all of Germany.

Its a pretty little town with cute lanes to explore. You can reach the Burg with the city bus from Bahnhof or walk for 25-30 mins. Pleasant views from the top. The sunset fron up there was awesome. There is cafe on top and also washrooms.

Beautiful castle, we walked from the city, so we had no problem with parking at the castle. We did not go to the museum, so I only rate the castle building and the view.

Only worth visiting if you want the view over Kulmbach. We have seen better. There is no parking at the castle. Roads are either one-way or lead nowhere if you follow Google Maps. Signage in town insufficient. You can do a self-guided tour to the first floor army museum and can see one room with an ancient bed plus the church. It cost about €4.50. A guided tour includes another floor. The walk on foot to the castle is 22° incline, very steep. Recommend to skip castle. There are better ones.

Parking: free parking in the castle itself and along the right hand side of the turnaround. Attraction: worth a walk around the outside of the castle (20min) the museums inside are unimpressive. Cute town worth visiting but castle can be skipped
