Two-day yoga festival on the medieval Giechburg high above Scheßlitz
The Giechburg Yoga Festival combines intensive yoga practice with an extraordinary location: the Giechburg, a medieval hilltop castle at around 500 meters above the valley near Scheßlitz in the Bamberg district. The sweeping view over the Franconian landscape makes this two-day festival a special experience.
Five experienced teachers design a broad program:
Admission is daily from 8:00 AM, with the program running from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Depending on the weather, sessions will take place indoors or outdoors; the final schedule will be published three days before the festival.
