Winzerer Heights
WINEMAKER HEIGHTS! The Winzerer Heights are not only one of the city’s most valuable biotopes, but also the closest option for long hikes from Regensburg.

The Winzerer Heights extend over around 29 hectares from Dreifaltigkeitsberg to Kager. From the town, it is best to go straight ahead after the Protzenweiherbrücke bridge into Drehergasse and…

Lab Valley
EXCURSION TO THE VALLEY OF THE BLACK LABER! Oh, I love fall! I didn’t used to, but now I really enjoy this time of year. That’s mainly because it’s the best time for me to go hiking.

Fall excursions
FALL DREAMS AND TOURS! The hot summer days are over. At last – some people will groan and breathe a sigh of relief!

Although it is often referred to in this way, the term does not come from old women. The word “old” comes…

River bathing
EVERYTHING IN FLOW! RIVER BATHING. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but we love swimming in the river. Fortunately, there are plenty of bathing spots and river baths on the Danube, Naab or Regen in and around Regensburg. Swimming against the current or drifting with it is simply wonderful! As no boat traffic is allowed on the Naab and the Regen, you can not only swim undisturbed, but also paddle wonderfully in a kayak, canoe, rubber dinghy or SUP. We…

The Dinosaur Museum in Denkendorf is an hour’s drive from Regensburg, so a day trip there was a good idea. After a leisurely 60-minute drive through the beautiful Altmühltal valley, you can already see the dinosaur flags at the large parking lot – the address is appropriately “Dinopark 1”.
