Super route from Pösing to Regensburg. The challenge of "collecting" the churches along the way gives us a wonderfully hilly route in the first part.

Geographical location and special features: Wald is located in the district of Cham in Bavaria. The town is surrounded by breathtaking scenery: rolling hills, dense forests and crystal clear lakes characterise the region. Here you can experience nature up close and relax from the stress of everyday life.

Touristically relevant sights: There are numerous historic buildings to visit in Wald, such as Wald Castle or the St. Andreas parish church. A stroll through the idyllic town park is also well worthwhile.

Cultural highlights and events: Those who enjoy visiting art exhibitions should not miss the Museum Modern Art near the station. Concerts and theatre performances also take place regularly - it's best to find out about current events on site!

Culinary specialities: Bavarian cuisine has a lot to offer - be sure to try a hearty snack with Brezn (pretzel) and Obatzda (a cheese cream). Regional specialities such as pork knuckle or liver dumplings are also served in the town's rustic inns.

Outdoor activities: Hiking, cycling or swimming - outdoor fans get their money's worth here! In summer, the nearby lakes entice you to swim and sunbathe, while in winter the snow-covered forests invite you to take long walks in the snow.

Best seasons and places for outdoor activities: The best time for hiking and cycling is from May to October. In autumn, the surrounding forests glow in bright colours - a real feast for the eyes! Those who like swimming should give preference to the summer months. For skiers, the nearby mountains are ideal.

What to do if it rains: Even if the weather is bad, there are plenty of things to do in Wald: for example, visit the indoor swimming pool or relax in the sauna of the wellness hotel. A guided tour through the historic centre is always worthwhile!

Where it's most beautiful: Walks along the river Chamb or on the circular hiking trail around Lake Eixendorf are particularly idyllic. From here you have a breathtaking view over the landscape.

    Sehr schöne gemütliche Tour mit einfachen Wegen durch den Wald, auf Kieswegen und einigen asphaltierten, aber nur gering befahrenen Strassen. Absolute Ruhe garantiert.

    Ordentliche Tour mit guten Höhenmetern, aber durchaus gemütlich zu absolvieren. Einige Streckenabschnitte sind nicht leicht zu finden. So sollte beachtet werden, daß nach dem Biergarten, wenn man wieder die ehemalige Bahnstrecke quer, der Weg recht steil abwärts geht und nicht als solcher zu erkennen ist. Ebenso auch der Weg zur "Aussicht". Dort muss man auch nicht die selbe Strecke zurück. Alles in allem aber eine sehr schöne Wanderung.

    This gravel tour was a great adventure for us. We started the tour in Passau following the Donau to Regensburg. This gave us two days to to get us a little into it. It broke the part of the Donau into two, we ended the tour in 8 days in Passau. Instead of following the GPX we sometimes followed the indications of the official cycling tours to stay away from busy traffic.

    Sehr schöne Tour, Falkensteinradweg geht ständig leicht bergauf, dafür wird man mit einem tollen Ausblick belohnt und mit einer rasanten Abfahrt ins Regental. Tour ist sehr empfehlenswert. Reine Fahrtzeit 4:17 h, ohne E-Bike ;-) (reine Muskelkraft)
