Stairs at the rocky outcrop, Waldnaab Valley

Highlight • Trail

The riverside path (black U) isn't for everyone, as it involves not only rooty paths but also two ladders. However, for most, it's preferable to the gravel Goldsteig path on the other side of the river. 👍

Waldnaab Riverbank Trail

Highlight • Trail

The narrow path between the rocks of the Waldnaab shore is a true adventure playground for the inner child in all of us. The path literally leads over hill and dale, sometimes stairs help to overcome the next rock - otherwise you need sure-footedness! The shore path is not suitable for baby carriages. Info for dog owners: There are some grid levels to overcome.

Butter Barrel (Waldnaab Valley)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Geologists say that the granite lumps in the river bed come from a rock fall. A completely different explanation is given by the Falkenberg knight Kuno, who once again stalked an innocent girl. After all, there was no other way to save herself from the pursuers than with a quick prayer and a courageous leap into the Waldnaab. Suddenly it became very quiet behind her - Knight Kuno, his entourage and horses remained in the river bed, transformed into boulders.

The Anvil

Highlight • Natural Monument

The anvil is a huge granite rock that lies in the middle of the Waldnaab. Over the millennia, the flowing water has sanded the stone all around and shaped it into its present form.

Kammerwagen

Highlight • Natural Monument

An anectode about the chamber car:
The enchanted chamber carriage (From: J. Weidner, “Waldnaabtal and Steinwald”)

Once, when the outfitting car of a damsel of Schwarzenschwal was driving through the Naab Valley and difficult terrain hindered the journey, the angry carter uttered an evil curse, which was immediately fulfilled. Suddenly the devil, who had been summoned as a destroyer, appeared and turned the chariot and horse into stone. Therefore, the more heavily formed parts of the rock scenery are interpreted as the heads of the petrified horses and the high-piled granite benches as the former beds of the chamber carriage.

Table Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Waldnaabtal Nature Reserve has a wow factor for me. The mighty rock formations simply leave you in awe, and the paths are well-secured, partly with wooden walkways and metal stairs. There's a very popular log cabin restaurant here with regional cuisine and a beer garden. Since there's a hiking parking lot nearby, it's a good starting point for many hikes.
