Bachelor party for action lovers: rugged cliffs, thundering waterfalls, and ice-cold pools. Canyoning in the Starzlachklamm gorge is a real adventure for everyone.

End your bachelor party with hiking and beer drinking: on a beer tour through Upper Franconia, you can toast to the upcoming wedding!  Upper Franconia has the highest density of breweries in Bavaria. This makes it the perfect place to start one of the numerous beer routes. Here you can combine nature and cuisine in the best possible way and enjoy your last moments of freedom with your best friends! If you want to stay in the city, there are also guided beer tours in Bamberg itself. We are sure that this bachelor party idea in Bavaria will suit your taste!
