The best running trails around Nittenau

I saw the mini-golf course for the first time on March 6, 2026. It looks brand new and will probably open soon.

Great beer garden, excellent food and great rooms with balconies right on the river Regen.

Great service and food, cozy beer garden

Even though the current building structure dates back to the 18th century, the castle of the Burgraves of Regensburg was already mentioned in documents before the turn of the first millennium.

Great swimming lake and a good starting point for hikes

Stork Tower The stork tower with the stepped gable is the landmark of Nittenau, shown in the Merian engraving from 1644, probably Gothic in origin. It is impossible to say how often it has completely or partially burned down in the past, but in any case it too fell victim to the flames in the total fire in Nittenau in July 1779. It was rebuilt and withstood fire in 1805. In 1808 it was reported that three meat banks were attached to it. Until around 1900, the stork tower always included the prison and bread shops; in 1905 there was talk of the "market clerk's apartment with goods and weighing vault". Later, a syringe and other fire department equipment were housed there for a few years. Since January 1, 1959, the Marienapotheke has been located in the building next to the Storchenturm. The stork tower and the pharmacy building are the property of the city. Source: http://www.ipernity.com

The landmark of Nittenau! Probably Gothic in origin, the tower burned down several times, in 1779 in total. From 1840 market clerk's apartment with prison and bread shop. The house attached to the west also belonged to the tower.

Stefling Castle and Palace Stefling was one of the most historically important fortresses in the lower Regental. The castle on the steep granite hilltop was first mentioned in 996 as being owned by the Pabonen family. They were burgraves of Regensburg from 976 to 1196 and the emperor's powerful governors. After their extinction in 1196, the castle came into the possession of the Wittelsbach dukes, who succeeded the Pabonen as burgraves. Since the 14th century, Stefling has had numerous owners, such as the Regensburg patrician families Hofer and Auer, who also owned the neighboring Stockenfels, the Eckers, the Counts of Ortenburg and, since the middle of the 17th century, the Münster family. In 1508, a church dedicated to St. Blasius "in castro Stefling" appears in the visitation protocol, which was built on the western flank of the palace. In the Thirty Years' War, Stefling Castle suffered severe damage around 1633 and lay in ruins for several years. It was also the Münster family who built the current three-story castle around 1656 in place of the castle buildings that had been built in the 10th century and renovated around 1150. In 1748, the castle was given a baroque makeover and its interior was rebuilt. Since 1817, Stefling, like Stockenfels and Hof, was owned by the Counts of Eckart, later by the Mühle-Eckart family and from 1992 by the Countess of Drechsel. The renovation took place between 1987 and 1995. The castle chapel of St. Bartholomew was built on the west side of the palace, near the inner castle gate. Rudolf von Münster had the chapel renovated and enlarged in the 18th century, and by 1859 the chapel was so close to decay that it had to be partially rebuilt. The castle courtyard extends in a north-south direction. When the castle was built in the 17th century on the north side, parts of the Romanesque walls of the former palace were retained. The Romanesque keep on the south side of the courtyard is only preserved in its two lower floors. Source: Information boards for Stefling Castle and Palace
