Be sure to have enough gas in the tank, because Bayreuth is worth making a detour for. Situated 30 miles from Nordhalben, it offers up a few fabulous attractions, such as Bayreuth Festival Theater and Margrave’s Opera House. Nothing says living big like a road trip does, so keep on driving to Bamberg. It’s 45 miles away and also features a few worthwhile sights, such as Bamberg Cathedral and New Residence.
