Be active

Take a look at the view from the castle tower and prepare to be overwhelmed: by gently undulating green hills and the endless expanse of the Upper Palatinate Forest Nature Park. Go outside and give free rein to your body and soul. On the mountain ridges you will discover the most delightful paths for jogging, riding, mountain biking and cross-country skiing. Wander through forests of oak and acorn trees, or fish on the sheltered bends in the River Naab.

Fishing

Early in the morning everything is still right in the world. With your fishing rod over your shoulder, your bait in your pocket and a song whistling from your lips. You set off down to the small river in the valley below and practise the art of waiting. But not for long: the Upper Palatinate Forest is full of ponds, rivers and lakes - and they are full of fish. A fisherman’s dream? Find out for yourself. We would like to wish you "Good Fishing".

Cross-country skiing

When in winter the snow gently covers the Upper Palatinate Forest and a deep calmness descends over the land, then the time has come. Time to be at one with yourself and with nature, time to glide over the cross-country ski runs, to find peace in the fairytale forests and reflect on what really matters.
