Hill Country - Tourist Attractions / Parks
The Hill Country's scenic beauty is, of course, not to be missed, and
there's plenty of it, from green parks tucked within city limits and
river and canyon space within a quick drive from your hotel. The Old
Tunnel near Fredericksburg may not sound like much, but visit during a
summer dusk and see millions of Brazilian free-tailed bats take to the
sky. The Hill Country is very culturally rich as well, of course,
and there are many museums devoted to cowboy heritage, perhaps the
most significant of these being the Cowboy Artists America Museum. The
Hill Country's strong German side is celebrated in museums in New
Braunfels and Fredericksburg, and a more general American history is
uniquely preserved in both the National Museum of the Pacific
War. For a little simple fun, though, Hill Country will thrill the
kids as well, with the natural oddities of Wonder World Park and the
first of the German-themed Schlitterbahn Waterparks.
