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.…

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.

Even well-known excursion destinations such as Höllbachtal or Kallmünz are no longer…

a bit of color & FRIENDS
CENTER FOR JOIE DE VIVRE! Center for what? Yes, you read that right: for joie de vivre. It’s here in our city, in Regensburg. And it’s in a wonderful location, near Prüfeningen Castle, surrounded by greenery. I was there last fall at the start of “Lockdown Light” and got to meet the founder Veronika Kammholz. A bundle of energy who radiates so much positive energy and laughs so much that…

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…

The Knackersemmel
HOPE AND SAUSAGE! A guest article by Martin Stein. Every city needs lighthouses, whether it is by the sea or not. As landmarks, but also as symbols of hope: for tourists as well as for the locals, to be a light in the darkness in stormy, dark times. Traditionally, of course, these are often churches or rival towers, magnificent buildings of any provenance, as long as they are towering. Regensburg…

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…

Gato-M
INTERVIEW WITH THE STREET ARTIST GATO-M! Gato-M is an artist, and a street artist at that. If you walk through Regensburg’s old town, you’ll come across a work by Gato-M from time to time: the baby with the shamrock, a girl, a boy with a suitcase, Einstein. Gato-M’s messages are often political. I’ve been photographing his street art for about three years now. Sometimes, when I stroll through the old…
