New Braunfels is a little bit of old Germany right in the middle of the Texas Hill Country.

Everyone can find a variety of attractions in the city of New Braunfels. You can dine at bier gartens and dance to oompah music, tube down cool, clear rivers or sail across deep, blue lakes.

In the heart of the city you can start your day shopping in the antique stores and craft shops in historic downtown New Braunfels; discover the area's unique German history in several local museums; enjoy great food ranging from traditional German cuisine to Tex-Mex; or relax with a leisurely float down the spring fed Comal River.

If you want a little faster pace, there are plenty of thrills at Schlitterbahn Water Park.  If you prefer your thrills air-conditioned, nearby outlet malls offer a vast hunting ground for bargains.
