Forchheim is a town in Upper Franconia in northern Bavaria, Germany, and the seat of the administrative district of Forchheim. A former royal city, it is sometimes called the Gateway to Franconian Switzerland after the scenic region to its northeast, and is known today for its ten day Annafest beer and music festival held each late July across 24 beer gardens on a wooded hillside on the edge of town. Its population was 30,705 as of December 2013.
