Lake Steinberger Lake Steinberger is part of the Upper Palatinate Lake District and, with an area of 1.84 km², is the largest lake in the Upper Palatinate. It was named after the municipality of Steinberg am See. It is 1.98 km long, 1.4 km wide, and has a maximum depth of 50 meters. The Schreckerbach stream feeds and drains the lake. After the Bavarian lignite industry ceased mining operations in the mid-1980s, the open-cast mine "Steinberger See" was flooded by reducing the water level. Remaining mining equipment was demolished and still lies on the lakebed. Two small, wooded islands also remain, which now divide the lake into a northern and a southern section. In the following decades, tourism developed at Lake Steinberger, bringing a degree of economic growth to the region. In addition to the Steinberger Yacht Club (SYC), founded in 1987, the area now boasts a sailing school, a water ski lift, a boat rental, a leisure park for families and children, a surf club, and most recently, an adventure golf course and a roughly 40-meter-high wooden "adventure sphere" with viewing platforms, an obstacle course, and a giant slide. Numerous restaurants, inns, and cafés complement the leisure offerings. A water rescue station has been established for the safety of visitors. Due to the increasing improvement in water quality and visibility in recent years, Lake Steinberger has become one of the most popular diving areas in the Upper Palatinate. Like all lakes in the Upper Palatinate Lake District, which originated from lignite mines, the water is acidic due to leaching. Because of the ongoing improvement in water quality, fish populations are steadily increasing. Perch and the occasional pike have been observed most frequently. The water is very clean; on windless days, visibility is possible to a depth of at least 10 meters. Occasionally, the tops of dead trees can be seen on the bottom. According to the ordinance issued by the Schwandorf District Office on August 8, 2002, the entire Steinberger See is open for diving. Especially in summer and winter, very good visibility (up to 20 meters) has been possible in recent years. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de

Good connections and signage for drivers, but somewhat more difficult to reach for cyclists as not all paths are suitable for bikes. Good parking facilities for cars.

The medieval town of Nabburg, with its architecture, offers a glimpse into times long past. The historic old town and the almost completely intact town wall, with its Mähntor and Obertor gates, are landmarks of the town's medieval importance. The Dean's Tower, the Old Town Hall, the Citizens' Hospital, the parish church, the Powder Tower, the castle courtyard, the Schmidt House, and the Zehenstadel (tithe barn) are further testaments to the past. It's well worth taking a leisurely stroll through the town. A large part of Nabburg's old town is a listed historical monument. Virtually every building here is worth seeing. A walk through the Lower and Upper Market Squares to the 13th-century Catholic parish church of St. John the Baptist, the Gothic Obertor gate, and Nabburg Castle is highly recommended. A beautiful walking path also leads along the town wall outside the town, offering magnificent views of the Naab Valley. https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Nabburg https://www.nabburg.de/tourismus-kultur/auf-einen-blick/sehenswuerdigkeiten/#historische-altstadt

Very nice cycle path with a great panorama.

A special building and testament to elaborate architecture.

It’s a flat route with beautiful views. This town is just a joy to run or walk through.
