High-altitude hike above the Naab valley We start this hike with a wonderful walk along the town wall of Nabburg. We go through the Obertor gate into the historic town center with several museums, which we visit extensively. Afterwards, a charming hiking trail leads us over the hilly heights of the Naab valley to the pilgrimage church of St. Barbara on the Eixlberg, which is soon visible above the treetops.

Rocky climb at the Pfreimd and wide views on the ridge pathWhether a long day trip or a shorter circular hike – there are many opportunities to discover the beauty of the Pfreimd valley. Variant 1 leads along the charming riverside path through the natural floodplains of the Pfreimd valley and along the wooded slopes to Trausnitz with the widely visible castle from the 12th century, which today houses a youth hostel. Passing a campsite with a bathing beach, it returns on the opposite side of the valley. Variant 2 starts in Trausnitz and leads on panoramic ridge paths to the remains of Stein Castle. Both variants can be combined into our main large route through the Pfreimd valley.
