30 days in Fredericksburg Itinerary

The city of Fredericksburg was settled by German immigrants in the mid-19th century, and has managed to retain its distinctly German charm.

Explore Fredericksburg's surroundings by going to San Marcos Premium Outlets (in San Marcos), New Braunfels (Gruene Historic District & Barn Pottery) and Dripping Springs (Hamilton Pool Preserve, Onion Creek Kitchens at Juniper Hills Farm, & more). The adventure continues: don't miss a visit to Main Street, relax in the rural setting at Wildseed Farms, pause for some serene contemplation at St. Mary's Catholic Church, and walk around Old Tunnel State Park.
