Schulerloch
EXCURSION WITH CHILDREN TO THE ALTMÜHLTAL! From the Schulerloch stalactite cave to Essing and back. I recently had a visit from my sisters and children, so I thought about what we could do at the weekend. We wanted to go sightseeing, do a bit of hiking and my nephew wanted to go on a summer toboggan run. The choice fell on the beautiful Altmühltal about 30 km away, because there is the Schulerloch stalactite cave, exciting castles and the AltmühlBOB…

Robbers’ den
EXCURSION: TO THE ROBBERS’ DEN! Halfway between Etterzhausen and Penk, above the Naab on the Jurasteig, there is a real robber’s cave! This cave was formed during the Jurassic period – flowing water slowly dissolved the limestone from the rock and formed the cave. It was probably already used by the Celts and served as a refuge for some. Because of the good view of the Naab, the cave was later a good starting point for raids. The cave is…

Prague
VISIT TO PRAGUE! When was the last time you were in Prague? Although the “Golden City” is only 2.5 hours away by car, I know some people from Regensburg who were last there many years ago, if at all. And no European capital is closer! Regensburg and Prague have a few things in common: both are beautiful cities, both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, both have many towers and a famous bridge from the Middle Ages as a landmark. The…

Inns in the surrounding area
TAVERNS AROUND REGENSBURG! It should be no secret by now that we love outings. For us, a good excursion naturally includes a decent stop for refreshments. There is no shortage of pubs in and around Regensburg, but everyone has their own favorites. This year we present our favorite pubs to you. Of course, this is a subjective selection, but since we are often asked for tips, we will reveal our favorites in the countryside in the first part of our…

Altmühl Valley
EXCURSION TO THE ALTMÜHLTAL! From Prunn Castle to Essing and back. This time last year, we were out and about in the beautiful Altmühl Valley on the Altmühl Panorama Trail. Geo magazine named this trail one of the ten most beautiful hiking trails in Germany. It runs along the Altmühl from Gunzenhausen to Kelheim, is 200 km long in total and leads right through the Altmühltal Nature Park. We only walked 10 km of it on this tour, but we…

Twin cities
DISCOVER PARTNER CITIES. How about a visit to one of our twin cities? And do it in a sustainable way by train. This is not possible for all of Regensburg’s eight twin cities; Aberdeen in Scotland, Clermont-Ferrand in France, Tempe in Arizona (America), Odessa in the Ukraine or the Chinese city of Qingdao are simply too far away. But there are three twin cities that are worth visiting and can be easily traveled to by train. You can find out…

Microadventure
SMALL CURSES! You hear the word “microadventure” more and more often. But what is it anyway?

Microadventures are small adventures on your own doorstep. Without having to travel far, microadventures are short, simple, local, inexpensive and sustainable, yet enriching and exciting. Small escapes from everyday life. We have written down our 5 great micro adventures for…

Excursion favorites
FIVE EXCURSION HIGHLIGHTS! Here on RegensburgNow, we always present excursion tips from time to time, because we love excursions. For us, excursions are balm for the soul. There are so many beautiful places around Regensburg that it’s hard to decide. We don’t need to introduce you to the Walhalla near Donaustauf or the Liberation Hall in Kelheim here. Even well-known excursion destinations such as Höllbachtal or Kallmünz are no longer insider tips and are rather overcrowded at the moment. Today…

Schönhofen
EXCURSION TIP: ROUND HIKE SCHÖNHOFEN! Short hikes in the surrounding area are like short vacations for us at the moment. With all the working from home and lockdown, we need to get some exercise and get some fresh air. Of course, keeping your distance in case you meet other hikers. In the fall, we did a dream tour along the Schwarze Laber from Schönhofen to Alling and back. The tour is about 14 km long, so you should bring a…

Wobble stone
EXCURSION TIP: TO THE WACKELSTEIN! Hiking in the romantic Regental valley. Above Heilinghausen, behind Regenstauf, there is a picturesque little hike that we really like. On the so-called “Franzenshöhe” there is a rocking stone. This is an egg-shaped stone with a diameter of 3 m. In front of the Heilinghausen country inn, a narrow road leads up to the small village of “Gibacht”. A small 4.5 km circular trail to the Wackelstein begins there. The route is initially signposted with…

Prospects
REGENSBURG FROM ABOVE! From September 26 to December 26, 2020, you can ride the Ferris wheel at Ernst-Reuter-Platz on the Keplerareal from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day and enjoy the view over Regensburg. From a bird’s eye view, so to speak. We think that’s great, because we don’t have that many viewpoints. Or are there? We took a look at where you can see Regensburg from above. Regensburg with a view: Bridge Tower Museum. One of the bridge…

Otterbach Valley
EXCURSION TO THE OTTERBACH VALLEY! Do you know the Otterbachtal? We were there again last weekend. This picturesque area near Altenthann is about 20 km east of Regensburg. The Otterbachtal is often compared to the better-known Höllbachtal, also known as the “little hell”. In fact, there is a lot of similarity between the two, which is due to the many stones and granite rocks in the course of the stream. The Otterbach valley is a mini version, so to speak.…
