Monasteries in the Regental and the perfectly round PfaffensteinFrom the remarkable monastery church in Reichenbach, we set out to discover an enchanted forest. Moss-green rock companions accompany us on the ascent to the Pfaffenstein. Crowned with a cross, the mighty Pfaffenstein sits enthroned on its rocky plateau and captivates us. From this magical place, we descend to Walderbach Monastery. Here, we can relax on the sun terrace of the monastery inn and gaze over the calm flowing Regen River. Wonderful photo opportunities of the Regental with its monasteries await us on our way back.

Typical Upper Palatinate: Castle, Granite and Bathing Lake From the splendid Regen Valley with its castles and monasteries, we embark on a stone-rich tour. Along the way, we encounter – hidden in the forest – interesting moss-green rock formations. The Lobenstein ruin towers over mighty granite rocks, which are crisscrossed by caves and tunnels; the tower offers a wonderful view. In contrast, the Helfenstein, a small rock labyrinth located nearby in the forest, invites exploration with a mystical atmosphere.
