Fredericksburg is the county seat of Gillespie County and is located about 70 miles west of Austin in what Texans refer to as "hill country".
For over 150 years, this German heritage city has provided Texas charm to it's residents and visitors. It's a great place to get away for a romantic weekend, to hike, or to have a corporate gathering that is far from the big city noise and stress.
Fredericksburg offers a nice variety of bed and breakfast inns to stay at while there, but one of the biggest attractions is Luckenbach, Texas. The crazy activities that go on there delight visitors as they watch armadillo races, washer pitchin', dominoes, and a game of horseshoes. You'll learn why they say "everybody's somebody in Luckenbach, Texas".
Time your visit right, on the third weekend in August, and you can visit the exciting Gillespie County Fair while you are there.
Fredericksburg is a small city with big charm and with it's close proximity to Austin, but distance from the "big city", it makes it a great place to visit or live.
