Regen - the city on the river in the Bavarian Forest

Less than twelve kilometers from the Bergknappenhof wellness hotel, you can reach the town of Regen in about twelve minutes by car . Here you'll find ideal attractions for all ages, whatever the season or weather. Regen , also known as the "Pearl on the River," offers a wealth of leisure activities along the river. You can go fishing, canoeing or boating, take a hike along the river, or simply stroll along the beautiful paths of the Black Regen.

The city has even more to offer for hiking enthusiasts. In addition to the traditional, inviting hiking trails, you can discover educational trails such as the castle educational trail, the fish educational trail in the spa gardens or the nature discovery trail. Art lovers will find a wide range of offers, such as the museum in the eating house, the Lower Bavarian agricultural museum, a snuff glass collection or the Pscheidl nativity scene. The beer and ice cellar is probably unique, a vaulted cellar that is around 300 years old and houses 21 beer and ice cellars.

Regen is known not only for the Bavarian Forest Barracks, but also for its musical scene. The annual folk music festival "drumherum" takes place there. Every two years, a floating stage is set up on the Regen River, where musicians of all tastes perform. Feel free to ask the team at the Hotel Bergknappenhof for more information. A visit to the Weißenstein Castle ruins is highly recommended, as the Counts of Bogen chose an exquisite location. Perched 750 meters high on the white quartz rock of the Pfahl, it is visible from afar above Regen. A medieval festival is also held there annually.

One of the largest folk festivals, the Pichelsteinerfest, also takes place in Regen . Depending on the season, Regen offers an outdoor swimming pool or an ice rink for ice skating or curling. Every year at Easter, you can admire the Regen Easter Ride. The Catholic Rural Youth Association has been organizing this event for over 50 years. Guided hikes can be booked in both summer and winter. We at the Wellness Hotel Bergknappenhof are happy to advise you. In Regen, you'll find numerous shopping opportunities, such as the Bauer department store, a shopping center, and a cinema.
