From rivers to dance halls, festivals to family adventures, New Braunfels rewards the curious. Make The Faust your home base and wander with ease: live music, floating, food, and Hill Country charm all within easy reach.
Gruene Hall
Texas’ oldest continually operating dance hall (1878) still books big names and two-steppin’ nights in a tin-roofed landmark. Go early for photos; stay late for the encore.
Schlitterbahn New Braunfels
A legend among waterparks. Home to record-setting rides and inventive “uphill coasters,” plus miles of lazy (and not-so-lazy) rivers. Summer done right.
Comal River Tubing
Spring-fed, crystal clear, a steady ~70–72°F. Float the “longest shortest river” for a laid-back loop right through town.
Landa Park
Fifty acres of local favorite: headwaters of Comal Springs, miniature train, paddle boats, trails, and shady picnics under century oaks.
Wurstfest
Ten days of German-Texas cheer. Music, dancing, and serious schnitzel energy each November. Arrive hungry; leave delighted.
Natural Bridge Caverns
Texas’ largest show cave. Towering formations, guided tours, and surface-level family fun, a short drive from town.
