Sights & interesting things
Wolnzach celebrated its 1200th anniversary in 2014. The history of the place, its culture and people are marked by hops. And yet it is still an innovative, up-and-coming, future-oriented location with an optimal infrastructure.
It is not without reason that the largest hop-producing community is considered to be the undisputed hop centre. All important institutions related to hop cultivation are located here, including the German Hop Museum. Wolnzach also had the first “hop seal” of the Hallertau.
