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. 👍

Wooden bridge over the Waldnaab

Very stable wooden bridge, along the Waldnaab there are more such crossing possibilities. It also has the perfect view of the Waldnaab and its stone world cut by the water.

Waterwheel in the Waldnaab Valley

While the older children have fun in the shallow water and on the water wheel, the adults can either unpack the picnic blanket and rest under the shady tree or stop off at the nearby beer garden.

Thanks to Komoot, we came to a particularly beautiful area today: the romantic Waldnaabtal! Today we warmed up a bit in this magical area for our hiking week in the Upper Palatinate Forest. First refreshment in the log cabin with the opening of the beer garden season. What joy! Then it was an adventurous path always along the Waldnaab, over …

Next time, we'll cross the wooden walkway straight away. The last crossing is just a ford. We had to go back a bit.

If you'd like a longer walk, you can also walk in the other direction. It's great that way too (maybe next time 😉).

The tour can only be called "easy" for the stretch to the left of the Waldnaab. There is a level service road with fine granite gravel. On the right the stretch is formed by forest soil, very narrow in parts and gnarled roots throughout. permeated. Sturdy shoes recommended, a certain degree of surefootedness is advisable. But wildly romantic route with …
