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? The term comes from the British adventurer Alastair Humphreys, who published his book “Microadventures” in 2014 and is considered the creator of the term. 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.…

Winter fun
SNOWSHOEING! Mother Hulda has provided us with snow! High time for some winter fun. How about a snowshoe hike? The weather would be perfect for it right now. Last year we did a taster tour on the Dreisessel. The journey from Regensburg takes about 1.5 hours. On this guided tour, you start at the Dreisesselhaus and then hike through the beautiful border triangle. The landscape is really beautiful and some of the frozen trees look bizarre. Fantastic views (some as…

Children’s and youth farm
THE CHILDREN AND YOUTH FARM IN REGENSBURG! Do you know the children’s and youth farm in Regensburg? I was there for the first time last year and have been a big fan of this great project ever since! The children’s and youth farm is a fenced-in area of approx. 4000 m² in the north of Regensburg (Konradsiedlung) and a real gem. The children’s and youth farm has been in existence since 2003. Nevertheless, this beautiful project does not seem to…

Budapest
REGENSBURG’S TWIN CITY IN HUNGARY! Did you know that the “Buda” district in Budapest is Regensburg’s twin city? More precisely, it is Budavár, the 1st district of the Hungarian capital Budapest. This is where the castle district is located, with the famous Castle Palace, the Fisherman’s Bastion and Matthias Church. Budapest is made up of a total of 23 districts and was formed in 1873 from the merger of Buda, on the western bank of the Danube, Óbuda and Pest.…
