Fredericksburg, TX

Deep in the Heart of Texas Hill Country

Things To Do: Outdoor Spaces

Enchanted Rock State Natural Area

Located 15 miles north of Fredericksburg, this pink granite dome rises 425 feet and covers 640 acres. It’s one of the largest batholiths in the United States, and was declared a National Natural Landmark in 1970. Visitors can hike, backpack, camp, rock climb, picnic, bird, study nature or stargaze here. Maps and details are available on the park's website. more...

LBJ Ranch

Now part of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park, the LBJ Ranch is where President Lyndon Johnson was born, lived, died and is buried. After his death in 1973, his wife Lady Bird Johnson continued to live at the Ranch part time until her death in 2007. Visitors can tour the LBJ Ranch at their own pace by car or van, and are free to stop at sites along the way, such as the President’s birthplace, Johnson family cemetery and the famous “Texas White House.” A veritable time capsule of the 1960s, this is a “must-see” stop on any trip to Fredericksburg. more...

Luckenbach

One of the most famous pavilions in the U.S. is just a stone’s throw down the road from Fredericksburg – the intimate-yet-infamous Hill Country hamlet of Luckenbach. Just two main buildings and a parking lot down a dirt road, Luckenbach is comprised of a general store, post office, beer joint and 3,000-square-foot, wooden-floored dance hall. When big names like Jerry Jeff Walker, Billie Joe Shaver, Lyle Lovett, Robert Earl Keen and Willie Nelson aren’t packing ‘em in at the main hall, you can bet the tiny beer joint in the back of the general store is hosting a Picking Circle of local musicians just about any afternoon or evening. more...

Marktplatz

The square in the center of town – the Marktplatz, as it’s known – surrounds one of Fredericksburg's most revered treasures, the Vereins Kirche. This 80-year-old octagonal building is a meticulous recreation of the original structure built soon after the arrival of the first German settlers in the mid-1800s – the first public building in town, serving as town hall, school, fort and a church for all denominations. Marktplatz offers three pavilions (Adelsverein Halle, Ocktoberfest Halle and Kinder Halle), as well as gardens and restrooms. And when they’re not being used for one of the numerous local festivals or events downtown, the pavilions at Marktplatz can be reserved for private parties. more...
