Nestled in the beautiful Franconian Jura mountain range, the town of Berching is one of the most well-preserved historic towns in Bavaria. Bounded by city walls, the spectacular medieval-style towers, and the four city gates have earned it the moniker of the "jewel of the Middle Ages". The striking façade of the St. Lorenz church, the Romanesque Plankstetten Monastery, and the Berching Windmill Farm are some of the most remarkable landmarks of the town. A gastronome's paradise, the local breweries and pan-European cuisine served in several restaurants here are a must-try.
