we’re pleased to welcome you here. You’ll see it’s worth your while. Enjoy the fascination of timber frame construction on a more than 3000 Km long route.

The German Half-Timbered House Road, founded in 1990, runs meanwhile from the river Elbe to the Black Forest through eight federal states (Saxony, Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Hesse, Rheinland-Pfalz, Thuringia, Bavaria and Baden Wuerttemberg) and is divided into seven regional routes.

In the meantime, more than 100 timber frame towns have joined up under the slogan ”Half-Timbered unites“ in order to coordinate their marketing. The German Half-Timbered House Road doesn’t only join unique landscapes, historic sites and carefully restored monuments but above all the people who live and work there.

Health resorts and festival locations alternate with nature parks and romantic nooks. Cider and Bock beer were invented here and hardly any other tourist route can offer its guests such a variety of culinary delights.

Germany’s northern most vineyard, the biggest Christmas candle in the world and Germany’s only Ivory Museum are all located on the German Half-Timbered House Road.

Many events, festivals and markets offer the visitor variety and entertainment throughout the whole year.

Whether you travel by car, by bicycle, by train or in a motorhome – 
discover the old craft and living traditional customs on this historical trail.

We would like to invite you to a tour full of culture and adventure along the German Half-Timbered House Road.
