Make sure you have a full tank of gas, because Bayreuth is worth a detour. Situated 40 miles from Waldthurn, it boasts some terrific attractions, such as Bayreuth Festival Theater and Margrave’s Opera House. Nuremberg, 60 miles away, is another road-trip destination that’s worth the drive. Swing by Nuremberg Castle and Nuremberg Zoo, two must-see sights in the area.
