Departing Dallas/ Ft. Worth Metroplex

Days 1, 2 & 3

New Braunfels has earned the title of “The German Heritage Center of Texas”. One reason is Wurstfest celebrated once a year since 1961 with good music, good German food and great fun. Come experience the salute to sausage in this unique Hill Country town where a variety of German-themed entertainment, food, dancing and special events take place at Landa Park, near a spring-fed river. Traditionally, there is an outdoor biergarten, waltz and polka contests and plenty of accordion music. The main attraction is the Wursthalle, a cavernous old cottonseed warehouse lined with tables where people eat and drink the delicacies bought at the festival. Sample all kinds of wurst, including bratwurst and Texas favorites of jalapeno and barbecue. While in the area, we’ll visit the turn-of-the-century community of Gruene. Once almost a ghost town, it is now a part of New Braunfels, yet it still retains its charm and popularity with shoppers. Don’t miss this Texas-style celebration! We return home on Day 3.
