Local history, culture and provincial scenery bond at this quaint Bavarian town on the banks of the river Saale. Nearly a half hour away from the Czech border, the town of Hof harbors several interesting sights and landmarks within its picturesque bounds. Its stunning landmarks like the Town Hall and the Freiheitshalle Hof contrast with each other to form a vivid skyline, while natural beauty abounds at attractions like the Theresienstein Park and the Untreusee lake. Besides nature and culture, Hof also has much to offer on the culinary front; it is widely known in the region for its local sausage and beer - namely the Schnitz and the Schlappenbier - both of which go a long way in affirming Hof's unique small-town charm.
