In 1845, Prince Carl Solms-Braunfels of Germany laid the foundation for New Braunfels, a city steeped in history. Even now, after more than a century, the town proudly maintains its German legacy. From delightful cuisine to lively festivals, local businesses, and historical architecture, the town is a true testament to its past. Anchoring this welcoming community is the New Braunfels Highway Visitor Center (HVC). Staffed by dedicated volunteers, the HVC warmly introduces visitors to the town’s rich history and vibrant present. It’s a popular spot for both residents and tourists, with various events being held throughout the year.
