 Willow City LoopWillow City Loop is 13 miles of country road winding its way through some of the oldest and most unique geology in central Texas. This spectacular, rugged terrain is awe-inspiring any time of the year and gorgeous during wildflower season. The two-lane road winds through canyons carved by picturesque Coal Creek, and over hill tops where the views are stunning. In wildflower season, March - April, the hillsides and low lying meadows are ablaze with the colors of a multitude of wildflower varieties. Mesquite, pecan, and live oak trees thrive, and there is an abundance of wildlife. All land along the Loop is privately owned. Residents of Willow City ask only that you keep moving along the narrow roadway. Please, do not park your car, or walk through the wildflower fields. The Knot in the Loop SaloonThe Knot in the Loop Saloon is a wellspring of adventure, stories and memories and...The Gateway to Willow City Texas. It's been servin' up cold beer and fun in the Heart of the Hill Country since August 2, 2003. Located in the beautiful ghost town of Eckert near Willow City we ain't on the Famous Willow City Loop -- dubbed one of the most scenic drives in Texas -- but from Fredericksburg you gotta go past us to get there. Part Saloon, part Wild West-O-Rama, from the moment you walk in the down home feeling and friendly people will get you set just right. Wander around, check out the walls, the rafters, toss a dollar on the ceiling... It's all so rustic/eccentric, tong in chic, it's a feast for the eyes. So stop by, sip a cold one and have fun. Open at noon Tuesday - Sunday -- sometimes earlier... 'Till midnight -- sometimes earlier. 830.685.3591  During Wildflower Season (March-April), take a drive out to Willow City Loop, just outside of Fredericksburg, Texas.

"Who needs Europe? The Texas Hill Country, west of Austin and north of San Antonio, might be the next best thing to crossing the Atlantic. The region is lush, colorful and, unlike much of the pancake-flat state, dotted with beautiful green hills that are evocative of Tuscany or the south of France. Moreover, the region is speckled with 22 wineries that buzz with food and music festivals year round. And towns like Fredericksburg offer a taste of the Old World, with German-style biergartens and schnitzelhauser. " #1 on Away.com's Top 10
