Riedenburg Crystal Museum
Crystal Museum Riedenburg
The Fasslwirtschaft and Crystal Museum leisure facility in the picturesque Altmühl Valley is the ideal excursion destination for the entire family.
Located on the outskirts of the three-castle town of Riedenburg, directly on the banks of the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, a special offer awaits you: The crystal museum with the largest rock crystal group in the world, the world's largest Madagascar tourmaline collection, the more than 300 replicas of the most famous diamonds, and much more will amaze guests. By scanning QR codes, accurate information about the exhibition can be conveniently stored on the cell phone and listened to at will. The museum is completely at ground level and conveniently accessible. Next to the museum is the Fasslwirtschaft with five huge, rustic beer storage barrels, a cozy pub and a shady beer garden. The Bavarian seasonal cuisine offers regional and homemade specialties for every taste. In addition, there are 42 different types of beer, homemade liqueurs and lemonades straight from the witches' kitchen. While the adults refresh themselves in the beer garden, the children can romp on the playground or try their luck at mini-golf.
