New Braunfels road trips

Things to do in New Braunfels, Texas

The heart of New Braunfels is the Gruene Historic District – you can explore on an e-bike tour or visit the shops, heritage buildings and live music venues under your own steam.

Otherwise, most of the fun tends to be water-based. Tubing down the Comal River is the archetypal New Braunfels experience, while the Schlitterbahn Waterpark has a great mix of fast slides and splash zones.

Landa Park, meanwhile, has a natural spring, golf course, arboretum and paddleboats.

Very highly rated New Braunfels accommodation options include the Gruene River Hotel & Retreat plus the budget-friendly Canyon Lake Cabins.
