The map
About this Forchheim map poster
Forchheim is in Upper Franconia, between Bamberg and Erlangen, and its map is organised by water. The Regnitz river and the Main-Danube Canal run next to each other through the valley on the western side of town. They form parallel lines of water, with bridges, locks and meadows in between. To the east, the ground rises towards the hills and valleys of Franconian Switzerland, and the Wiesent comes down from there to meet the Regnitz.
The historic centre is compact, and traces of its old fortifications still shape the street pattern. The town has a long royal history, and the Kaiserpfalz, a medieval palace complex, stands in the old town. Timber-framed houses, including the well-known town hall, line the market area. Small streams and channels cross the centre, so there is water in the heart of town as well as on its edge.
A Forchheim map poster brings these layers together: the river and canal corridor, the dense old town, and the newer districts spreading toward the hills. Forchheim is also known for the Annafest, held each summer in a wooded hillside full of beer cellars just outside the centre. On the map, that area shows as a patch of forest paths above the streets.

The old town
The historic core is compact, and its layout still follows the lines of its former fortifications. It includes the Kaiserpfalz and a market area lined with timber-framed buildings.
Kellerwald slopes
East of the centre, a wooded hillside full of beer cellars hosts the yearly Annafest. On the map it appears as a green area crossed by small paths.

Why Forchheim
A map that means something
Forchheim tends to leave people attached to it: students who passed through, families from the old town, visitors who came for the Annafest and kept coming back. The poster keeps that affection in a map that looks well-ordered and quietly detailed.
You can add a title, subtitle or an important date, and adjust the coordinates line. Choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Blueprint suits the canal locks, and Paper suits the old town.
