Pilgrimage Chapel Streicherröhren To trace the history of this pilgrimage chapel, we come across an old hand-drawn map from around 1570, which is located in the Bavarian State Archives in Munich. On this map, a small wayside shrine is marked on the road between Untertraubenbach and Roding—a shrine that may have been the origin of the Streicherröhren pilgrimage site. According to tradition, the origin of the pilgrimage itself is attributed to a miracle that is said to have occurred in 1661. While this cannot be historically verified, we do know that in 1715 there was a wooden chapel in Streicherröhren, which was already visited by many pilgrims, and that votive tablets had been placed there decades earlier. The small pilgrimage evidently enjoyed considerable popularity, which also explains why it subsequently attracted opponents, particularly in Roding, who, due to their own pilgrimage to Heilbrünnl, viewed the development of Streicherröhren with envy. The parish priest of Roding complained in Regensburg about the "unauthorized gatherings" and "superstition" and was thus able to obtain permission, with the consent of the local landowner, to discontinue the pilgrimage. On his own initiative, he sent men to Streicherröhren, had the chapel dismantled, and the offerings, the miraculous image, and the votive tablets brought back to Roding. With the permission of Elector Max Emmanuel of Bavaria, the chapel was rebuilt, and a new miraculous image was presented in 1718. When the pilgrimage declined towards the end of the 18th century, a miraculous healing, confirmed by both ecclesiastical and secular authorities, helped to revive it. The chapel was renovated, and the miraculous image, previously painted on glass, was replaced with one on wood. During the 19th century, the chapel acquired its present form: Framed within a simple fieldstone structure, the miraculous image, a simple depiction of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child as Queen, was placed behind a simple iron grille. Donated votive tablets and images, as well as candles and inscriptions inside the chapel, show us that Streicherröhren is still visited by many people seeking help and solace.

Blue Grotto It is not a Marian cult site, as is often assumed. It began as a love affair, the love of a Rodinger – he later even became mayor – for a beautiful young girl named Maria Zimmerer. Unfortunately, this girl died of appendicitis at a very young age and is buried in Munich, where she had been employed. In 1929, the enamored Rodinger erected this statue in memory of his beloved, carved from sandstone by the stonemason Hofinger from Oberkreith. There was no road to the grotto at that time. So the statue and all the materials had to be transported by boat across the Regen River from Wiesing. "Dieß'n Wack" was involved in its installation and also immortalized himself with a small painting to the left of the statue. The pastor of Roding at the time had concerns about the grotto, arguing that the statue might be considered a Marian cult site and thus harm the Heilbrünnl (Holy Spring). But this concern was unfounded. In 1977, the Roding-Mitterdorf Hiking Club built a footbridge around the grotto to Fischerwinkel, making it easily accessible on foot. Members of the Wiesing Volunteer Fire Department have thinned out the trees and bushes in front of the grotto to provide a better view from Wiesing. Source: Local information

Half of the trail is shaded and runs along dirt roads, making it unsuitable for strollers. The other half is paved and shade-free. It's particularly interesting due to the abundance of birds and frogs.

A beautiful nature reserve 🌿🌲🐦🐿️🐟

The nature reserve in the district town of Cham. Opportunities for discovery galore.

Great pilgrimage chapel near Roding.

Great trail and the scenery is amazing

I cycled the Regental cycle path from Cham to Furth im Wald and back. The entire route is asphalted, with a few slight inclines. Just before and after Arnschwang you have to cycle on the road for 100m, otherwise you are always on the cycle path. Very busy. But highly recommended
