    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…

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…

An hour’s drive north of Regensburg, near Falkenberg in the Upper Palatinate Forest, lies a wonderful excursion destination: the Waldnaabtal nature reserve. Picturesque rock formations and 30 to 50 meter high granite cliffs line the river bed here. The river itself meanders picturesquely through the valley, where it is repeatedly diverted by large,…
