New Braunfels Attractions

30 mi. north-east of San Antonio on I 35 is New Braunfels, founded by German settlers in 1845. At the beginning of November each year it is the scene of the ten-day Wurstfest (Sausage Festival). Even more popular as a spectacle is the unusual sight of people floating down a 21.2 mi. stretch of the Comal River squeezed into an inflated innertube. Further diversions of a similar kind will be found at the vast "Schlitterbahn" water park.
