City of Forchheim

With around 33,000 inhabitants, Forchheim is located in the south of the Bavarian administrative district of Upper Franconia. Along the Regnitztal development axis, with Bamberg in the north and Nuremberg in the south, the city is conveniently located on the Main-Danube Canal and on the Franconian expressway. As a result, Forchheim is centrally located in the Nuremberg metropolitan region. Since October 2002, the large district seat has been part of the Bamberg-Forchheim economic region. With Franconian Switzerland as a recreation area right on the doorstep, the city offers another plus. Forchheim is therefore the ideal combination of economic attractiveness and quality of life.
