About Zweibrucken
Set on the Schwarzbach River in the south of the Rhineland-Palatinate region, Zweibrücken was once the capital of the Imperial State of Palatine. Translating simply as ‘Two Bridges’, this riverside town has a long and fascinating history. It’s also a brilliant springboard fro exploring the natural beauty of the region; the best place to stay in Zweibrücken is an imposing heritage residence in landscaped gardens, perfect for fans of the great outdoors.
Delve into Zweibrücken’s past with a visit to the well-curated Zweibrücken City Museum, or explore the town’s historic centre on foot. Marvel at imposing edifices, pick a perch for a coffee in the sunshine, and pop into the wonderful Bibliotheca Bipontina or the Zweibrücken City Library. The town’s most famous landmark is undoubtedly the 1725-built Zweibrücken Castle. Once home to the Dukes of Zweibrücken, the Castle has been well-preserved. Other highlights include the Herzogvorstadt — a Baroque complex — as well as Alexander’s Church, Karlskirche and the Gasthaus Zum Hirsch — the oldest building in the town centre.
Zweibrücken’s other big attraction is its Rosarium. Amongst the largest in the world, it is home to an astonishing 45,000 plants set across two gardens, and not to be missed! Outdoorsy travellers will also adore cycling through the hills of the Bliesgau, trekking through the ancient Palatinate Forest, and wandering through the landscaped gardens of Tschifflick. There are golf courses aplenty in the area, too. Return to the best place to stay in Zweibrücken for tranquil evenings and fabulous regional fare.
