8 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.

Get out of town with these interesting New Braunfels side-trips: Dripping Springs (Hamilton Pool Preserve & Hawk's Shadow Winery), Fredericksburg (Wildseed Farms, Grape Creek Vineyards, &more) and Garrison Brothers Distillery (in Hye). Next up on the itinerary: see a world frozen in time at Gruene Historic District, cool off at Schlitterbahn Waterpark New Braunfels, don't miss a visit to New Braunfels, and stroll around Fischer Park.
