Hunding, a gold rush village steeped in history. Here you'll drive through a village with a glittering past: Hunding has been documented as a gold mining town since 1562. A fascinating historical moment in the Lallinger Winkel region – perhaps the gold still sparkles in the stream today. www.lallingerwinkel.de/hunding

Pizzeria Cafe Dolomiti, the stone oven stop. Crispy stone-baked pizza and a cold beer make this stop particularly worthwhile after a few meters of elevation gain. The terrace invites you to continue your leisurely ride through the Zwiesel region.

The parish church of St. John the Baptist (formerly a monastery church) is the most beautiful Baroque church in the Bavarian Forest and boasts one of the most beautiful church interiors in Bavaria. The architect Johann Michael Fischer converted the previously Gothic church into this work of art in 1727. A medieval cloister with a courtyard garden dating from 1402 has also been preserved. The Rinchnach Local History and Tourism Office offers regular tours of the former monastery complex. These include the former brewery cellar, the oratory, the old parish hall, the medieval cloister with its courtyard garden, the side chapel with its unique shellwork decoration, and, of course, the impressive Baroque church. Registration: Tel. +49 (0)9921 / 9466-16 The side chapel in the parish church is the only chapel in Bavaria decorated with genuine freshwater pearl mussel shells. The Golgotha Group can be seen next to the grave of the Blessed Monk Hermann. https://www.bayerischer-wald.de/attraktion/pfarrkirche-rinchnach-9acb2aaa78
