3 days in New Braunfels Itinerary

Built upon the back of an older cotton-producing town called Gruene, New Braunfels pays tribute to its heritage by maintaining part of the historical town--its post office, general store, and dance hall among other buildings--inside the city limits.

Change things up with these side-trips from New Braunfels: Fredericksburg (Enchanted Rock State Natural Area, Wildseed Farms, &more) and Garrison Brothers Distillery (in Hye). There's lots more to do: see a world frozen in time at Gruene Historic District, view the masterpieces at Barn Pottery, walk around Landa Park, and cool off at Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels.
