Viba Nougat Welt Thuringian Forest & The Saale Valley

Viba has been seducing sweet-toothed Germans with their range of nougats and chocolates for over a century. Here at their luridly-pink factory and visitor centre, you can observe the manual production process, gorge yourself on high-sucrose delights or take a course to earn your 'nougat diploma' (1½ hours €25 to €45). There's also a restaurant on-site, open the same hours.
