Waterwheel in the Waldnaab Valley

Highlight • Monument

While the older children have fun in the shallow water and on the water wheel, the adults can either unpack the picnic blanket and rest under the shady tree or stop off at the nearby beer garden.

Butter Barrel (Waldnaab Valley)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Geologists say that the granite lumps in the river bed come from a rock fall. A completely different explanation is given by the Falkenberg knight Kuno, who once again stalked an innocent girl. After all, there was no other way to save herself from the pursuers than with a quick prayer and a courageous leap into the Waldnaab. Suddenly it became very quiet behind her - Knight Kuno, his entourage and horses remained in the river bed, transformed into boulders.

Waldnaab Valley Nature Reserve

Highlight • Gorge

In the middle of the Upper Palatinate Forest between Falkenberg and Windischeschenbach lies the wild and romantic Waldnaab Valley, also known as the “Grand Canyon of the Upper Palatinate”. The river has made its way through the granite rocks and formed bizarre rock formations. In places, however, its bank is also very flat and lush green.

Table Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Waldnaabtal Nature Reserve has a wow factor for me. The mighty rock formations simply leave you in awe, and the paths are well-secured, partly with wooden walkways and metal stairs. There's a very popular log cabin restaurant here with regional cuisine and a beer garden. Since there's a hiking parking lot nearby, it's a good starting point for many hikes.

Stairs at the rocky outcrop, Waldnaab Valley

Highlight • Trail

The riverside path (black U) isn't for everyone, as it involves not only rooty paths but also two ladders. However, for most, it's preferable to the gravel Goldsteig path on the other side of the river. 👍
