One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Falkenberg leads to the "Hoher Stein" viewpoint. This route begins on the outskirts of Falkenberg and winds through picturesque field paths and green meadows. After a moderate climb, you finally reach the summit of the Hoher Stein, where you are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire region. This place is particularly suitable for a picnic stop or to simply enjoy the tranquillity of nature.

Another popular hike is the circular trail around the "Great Pond". The starting point of this tour is the centre of Falkenberg, from where you walk along the shore of this idyllic body of water. The path leads past fragrant flower meadows and offers beautiful views of the lake again and again, as well as of numerous bird species that are native to the area. Children in particular will love feeding ducks or watching frogs on the shore.

For more challenging hikes, we recommend the ascent to the "Kaitersberg", the highest mountain in the Upper Palatinate Forest. The trail starts in Falkenberg and leads through dense forests, steep paths and rocky sections. Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. This tour is only suitable for experienced hikers as it requires a good level of fitness.

The best seasons to hike in Falkenberg are spring and autumn. During this time, the forests glow in bright colours and the mild climate makes hiking particularly pleasant. In summer, on the other hand, it can get quite hot, which is why it is best to be out and about early in the morning or in the evening.

In total, Falkenberg offers numerous beautiful hiking trails and routes for every taste. Whether you want to take a leisurely walk or prefer challenging mountain tours - everyone will find their perfect hike here. And thanks to the family-friendly trails, children can also discover the beauty of nature and let off steam.

So lace up your hiking boots and explore the picturesque surroundings of Falkenberg!

    Eine sehr schöne Tour, die auch mit Kindern Spaß macht. Der Rückweg über die Schotterstraße ist allerdings momentan (23.8.2026) nicht möglich, da eine der Behelfsbrücken gesperrt ist.

    Eine wunderschöne Wanderung entlang der Waldnab. Für den Uferweg ist festes Schuhwerk sinnvoll, da der Weg über viele Wurzeln und Steine geht. In der Blockhütte lässt sich gut rasten. Dort gibt es auch einen Getränkeautomaten.

    Wunderbare Wanderung an der Waldnaab entlang! Da der westliche Uferweg ein „Steig“ ist, fahren dort keine Radler und für die Kinder ist es sehr spannend und kurzweilig 👍😀 Tipp: Baden in der Waldnaab am „Tischstein“

    Toller Weg, freundliche Menschen entlang des Weges! Sehr sehr schön! 🙂 Irritierend bloß Haferdeckmühle - Altes Gut am See mit DDR Fahne am „Merkelmussweg“ Weg. Was machen diese Leute hier wenn es Ihnen in Bayern nicht gefällt? ☹️ Uns egal - Wir genießen weiterhin den Goldsteig!!👍

    Wir sind die Tour heute (04.10.2017) in umgekehrter Richtung gegangen! War auch gut so. Wir Warenbörse einen drei rädrigen Kindersportwagen unterwegs und der Kleine Mann war an manchen Stellen gezwungen auszusteigen! An Blockhaus ließ ich Kinder und Frau zurück und ging die letzten 6,5 km in einer knappen Stunde alleine zum Ausgangspunkt zurück und holte alle mit dem Auto am nahegelegenen Parkplatz ab. Aber Das Waldnaabtal war wunderschön und wir werden die Route sicher nochmal gehen!

    Wunderschöne Tour. Wir sind sie gegenläufig gewandert, so dass nach Windischeschenbach der Weg uns durch das xNaabtal führte und am Ende 500 m vor dem Parkplatz die Blockhütte uns mit einem sehr guten Himbeerkuchen erwartete. In Windischeschenbach gibt es gegenüber der Kirche einen sehr guten Metzger! Die Gehzeit betrug mit zwei Pausen ca. 4,5 Stunden.

    Tolle und abwechslungsreiche Strecke! Sehr viele schöne Weiher die teils direkt am Weg liegen! Auch Falkenberg ist einen Besuch wert! Das Waldnaabtal ist wohl das absolute Highlight, das sollte man sich nicht entgehen lassen, es gibt nicht viele Orte wo man so eine schöne Naturkulisse bewundern kann! Negativ aufgefallen ist: Sitzgelegenheiten unter Dach zum kurzen Ausruhen oder Unterstellen beim Regen sind nicht gegeben! Dasselbe gilt für Mülleimer, dementsprechend sieht man auch die ein oder anderen weggeworfenen Dinge. Was auch noch toll wäre wenn zumindest alle 7-10 Kilometer ein Möglichkeit zur Notdurft gegeben wäre! Auch hier war wieder die Streckenangabe total daneben, wir sind von Friedenfels über Falkenberg nach Windischeschenbach (Bahnhof) gegangen, anstatt der ausgezeichneten ca 30km kamen zum Schluss 39,7km raus!
