After a long hike, a cool pint in a Zoiglstube or local brewery tastes even better. In summer, the sunny beer gardens are especially tempting places to relax and enjoy one of the regional specialties of the Oberpfälzer Forest. Beer, especially the cult Zoigl beer, could almost be considered the elixir of life in this part of the world. Numerous local breweries and Zoiglwirte keep your glass full with a variety of Bavarian beer.

The Oberpfälzer Forrest doesn't just offer excellent beer, it also has many wonderful hiking opportunities. You can explore the unique rock formations in the Waldnaabtal, discover works of art around the Hammersee, get to know the stunning areas of the Goldsteig and enjoy idyllic villages with unique charm. The many trails in this beautiful region lend themselves to being explored on foot.

In this Collection, we guide you through seven different length hiking routes through the wonderful landscapes in the region. After an enjoyable hike through nature, you can quench your thirst with a regional (beer) specialty.

The most unique attraction in the Oberpfälzer Forest is undoubtedly the Zoigl. To understand this tradition, you should first understand some background knowledge. Where the Zoiglstern (the guild sign of brewers) hangs, you can expect to experience something absolutely unique. The bottom-fermented, unfiltered beer has been brewed in five communal breweries in Eslarn, Falkenberg, Mitterteich, Neuhaus, and Windischeschenbach for hundreds of years. Today, the breweries offer plenty of snacks and a friendly atmosphere, not forgetting the beer.

So get out into nature, tuck into tasty food, enjoy a pint – and say "cheers!"
