The starting point is the Planet Sonne directly at the former train station in Oberviechtach. The path then leads along the scenic Bavarian-Bohemian Friendship Path along the planets of our solar system. Via Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune you reach the outer planet of the solar system, Pluto, in 5.9 km. Impressive panels provide information on the respective planet in two languages (German / Czech). oberpfaelzerwald.de/planetenweg

Former Oberviechtach station building

Highlight • Monument

The Nabburg-Oberviechtach route was opened on August 18, 1904, and the last train ran on October 15, 1994. But thanks to entrepreneur Siegfried Rossmann, there are no ruins in Oberviechtach, but a beautiful station building. In 2012, the completion of the exterior renovation was celebrated. Since then, the special feature of the station has been the "Hanomag" locomotive from 1899, which is reminiscent of railway history in a glass locomotive shed.

Hanomag Steam Locomotive in Oberviechtach

Highlight • Monument

At the former train station in Oberviechtach there is a historic technical treat - not just for railway enthusiasts. One of the oldest Hanomag locomotives still preserved in the world has found its well-deserved resting place in an architecturally exceptionally successful "glass locomotive shed". The B-coupler, i.e. two axles, was built in the Hanomag works in 1899 under the number 3427. Its design corresponds to the first Bockerln that served on the Nabburg-Oberviechtach-Schönsee railway line from 1904 onwards.
