Discover the region

Geographically, Bärnau is located directly at the foot of the Upper Palatinate Forest Nature Park. The region is characterised by its unspoilt nature, which is one of the most beautiful in Germany. Here you will also find the "Fichtelsee" nature reserve, one of the largest lakes in Bavaria with crystal-clear water.

The town itself has many tourist attractions to offer, including Bärnau-Tachov Castle or the town parish church of St. Nicholas. If you are interested in culture, then you should visit the Museum of Folklore or take a tour through the historic old town alleys.

Cultural highlights are plentiful here: The annual folk festival attracts thousands of visitors and offers live music as well as traditional Bavarian specialities such as pretzels and white sausage to try.

This region also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine - try local dishes such as pork knuckle or dumplings with mushroom sauce! For outdoor activities, summer is the best time of year - hike along the many trails around Lake Fichtelsee or cycle along the River Eger.

If it rains, visitors can still enjoy indoor activities - visit the ceramics museum or the local history and farm museum, for example. A visit to the cinema or one of the many cafés is also a good option.

The best thing about Bärnau and Tirschenreuth? The hospitality of the locals, who will be happy to show you everything this town has to offer. So pack your bag and hit the road - this guide will help you get the most out of your stay!
