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.

Hiking

The Waldnaabtal nature reserve has a wow effect for me, the mighty rock formations only amaze you, the paths are well secured, some with wooden walkways and metal stairs. There is a very popular excursion restaurant "Blockhütte" with regional cuisine and beer garden. Since there is a hiking car park nearby, it is a good starting point for many hikes.

On the meadow you can have a wonderful picnic and watch the water wheel at work. In winter, when the water wheel is frozen, it is a very special photo motif.
