The best dog-friendly hikes and walks in Schwaighauser Forst

Simply a beautiful spot on the Regen river. Good as a small break point during bike rides.

If the battery of the e-bike starts to run low, there is a free charging station opposite the lock, which really impressed me.

Beautiful statue by the wayside

Regendorf Castle The Lords of Regendorf, initially referred to as "Lords of Regeldorf", were first mentioned at the beginning of the 13th century. In 1490, Hans Regeldorfer of Regeldorf and Wolfsegg is entered in the Land Register. In 1475, he appears in the entourage of Duke Ludwig IX at the Landshut wedding. Hans Regeldorfer was married twice, he left behind two daughters and no male descendants, and so Regendorf passed into other hands as a male fief after his death. In 1515, the castle was rebuilt for the then owner, the Regensburg Imperial Mint Master Martin Lerch. He had to have a crucifixion group erected for the manslaughter of a mint clerk in 1513. This is now in the apse of the Minorite Church in Regensburg. In 1699, Franziska Adelheid von Braittenburg sold the Regendorf castle and manor to Philipp Anton Leopold Freiherr von Oberndorff, who came from the Upper Palatinate line of the Oberndorff family. They rebuilt the castle around 1840 and added a floor. In 1884, Regendorf Castle was sold to the Imperial Councilor Freiherr von Faber in Stein near Nuremberg and later to the Counts of Faber-Castell. In 1916, it was purchased from them by the royal Bavarian treasurer Eduard von Harnier. As the von Harnier family was known to the National Socialist authorities as anti-National Socialists, they had to vacate the castle in 1936 and sell it to the city of Regensburg. Regendorf Castle is a complex dating back to 1515 and consists of two parallel wings that are connected in the middle by an intermediate building. The main building is a three-story hipped roof building with an H-shaped floor plan. The eastern wing has two four-storey round towers and a garden staircase. The castle chapel at the north end of the east wing dates from 1688. The former stables are a two-storey stable barn with a half-hipped roof from 1830. Remains of the terraced landscape garden with staircase from the 18th century can be found to the west of the castle. The park enclosure, with a fence to the south, otherwise a stone wall with stone pillars, dates from around 1840. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de

Holy Trinity Filial Church In order to abolish the traditional custom of the villagers sharing the castle chapel, the castle owners Faber-Castell donated a new little church soon after the turn of the century. It was intended to be a gift to the community and to keep the name Faber-Castell in constant memory in Regendorf. Based on a design by the count's master builder Alois Prißl in the neo-Romanesque style, construction began in the spring of 1907. On July 31, 1909, the church was consecrated by the Bishop of Regensburg. As it is a small church with around 70 seats, the design was limited to one nave, which is laid out along the north-south axis and ends in a defiant tower. A sacristy with a gable roof is attached to the west side, and an apse with a half-dome is attached to the east side. The nave has a hall-like appearance due to the simple flat ceiling with a cove, the central aisle leads through a round arch to the chancel. A cross vault widens it upwards and a round-arched opening into the small apse, which is attached to the east in a semi-arch. At the front there is a simple altar table with a tabernacle and an open gable made of wood with turrets above it. To the side above the sacrament altar, on the front wall, there is a late Nazarene statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Sacred Heart of Mary. The excellent stained glass windows, made by the royal Bavarian court glass painter F.X. Zettler in Munich, deserve attention. The middle window shows the "mercy seat": God the Father receives the crucified son, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove completes the Trinity. The only reference to the patronage of the Holy Trinity. The Stations of the Cross, depicted in extraordinarily high-quality Rococo paintings (around 1750), are impressive in their scenic variety, figure representation and color scheme - probably one of the most valuable things in the church. There is even a small gallery, the parapet of which is decorated with a coffered pattern, built onto the back, which somewhat expands the limited space. Baron Georg von Harnier, who donated a memorial to the fallen of the First World War in 1924, should also be mentioned. The war memorial towers high to the southeast of the church on a square tastefully enclosed by stone walls and bears a so-called Celtic cross. Source: Church guide: Zeitlarn - Regendorf - Laub
