The famous croissants: "Bamberger Hörnla"

Typically Bamberg

Among beer lovers, Bamberg is best known for its aromatic smoked beer, which is brewed by two of the town's breweries. Top chefs and epicures prefer Franconian asparagus and Bamberger Hörnla, a rare but all the more delicious potato variety. Anyone walking through the town, admiring the many temptations offered by the bakeries, will perhaps also notice the other kind of Bamberg Hörnla - a croissant-like butter pastry.
