Franconian Switzerland
Franconian Switzerland ((ドイツ語:Fränkische Schweiz)) is an upland in Upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany and a popular tourist retreat. Located between the Pegnitz River in the east and the south, the Regnitz River in the west and the Main River in the north, its relief, which reaches 600 metres in height, forms the northern part of the Franconian Jura (''Frankenjura'').
Franconian Switzerland was given its name by Romantic artists and poets in the 19th century who compared its landscape to Switzerland. The Franconian Switzerland is famous for its high density of traditional breweries.

The region was once called ''Muggendorfer Gebürg'' (''Muggendorf mountains''). The first tourists arrived during the age of Romanticism. Two law students of Erlangen University, Ludwig Tieck and Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder have been credited as "discoverers" of the region. The episode "Eine Reise in die Fränkische Schweiz" in their joint production ''Franz Sternbalds Wanderungen''〔''Franz Sternbalds Wanderungen'': "Wanderings of Franz Sternbald".〕 (Berlin, 1798) enthralled many contemporaries. The 1820 book ''Die kleine Schweiz'' (''Little Switzerland''), written by Jakob Reiselsberger of Waischenfeld, gave the region its name. In 1829, a book by German salesman and local historian Joseph Heller, ''Muggendorf und seine Umgebung oder die Fränkische Schweiz'' (''Muggendorf and its surrounding or the Franconian Switzerland'') was published.
The description ''Switzerland'' was common during the 19th century for landscapes with mountains, valleys and most significantly rocks, e.g., Saxon Switzerland, Märkisch Switzerland, Mecklenburg Switzerland and Holstein Switzerland.
