Lonely, unspoilt forests, glistening brooks, winding rivers, and wide views over wooded hills — welcome to Bavaria's wild north, the Upper Palatinate Forest. Between the town of Marktredwitz in the north and Regensburg in the south, you can explore endless forests, romantic castle ruins and friendly little towns and villages on a network of more than 400 official hiking trails. We took to the trails ourselves and present six of our favourite routes here.
The routes in this Collection showcase the beautiful scenery and impressive nature in the region, as well as the flora and fauna which grows in the area. A brand new “Nature-Navi” feature allows you to use a digital hiking map (visit oberpfaelzerwald.de/natur-navi), plan your route, and head off adventuring. Along the trails, there are 100 QR codes revealing information about the nature when you scan them with your phone. An audio guide also explains interesting facts about the areas such as the origin of rock formations, the history of huge castle ruins, and about life along the babbling brooks.
On the “Nature-Navi”, you can also find all official hiking trails in the Upper Palatinate Forest. Browse through the selection, download the GPX track and you are ready to go on tour with komoot. You will also find plenty of information on places to stop for refreshments, sights and events. If you plan to stay for several days, the information on accommodation will be particularly helpful. You can put your favourites on your personal digital notepad to access them later or during the hike.
Now it's time for you to have a look at our selection and gather inspiration for your next hike in the Upper Palatinate Forest. If you need some additional suggestions, have a look at our Nature-Navi or check out more Collections here: komoot.de/user/oberpfaelzerwald/collections
