Stairs at the rocky outcrop, Waldnaab Valley

Highlight • Trail

The riverside path (black U) isn't for everyone, as it involves not only rooty paths but also two ladders. However, for most, it's preferable to the gravel Goldsteig path on the other side of the river. 👍

The Anvil

Highlight • Natural Monument

The anvil is a huge granite rock that lies in the middle of the Waldnaab. Over the millennia, the flowing water has sanded the stone all around and shaped it into its present form.

November 3, 2023,Burg Falkenberg/Waldnaabtal (Uferpfad)

Since we are currently living in a room at the beautiful Falkenberg Castle, we started today's tour directly from there.😏😁 A short walk through - and on a 1 kilometer long circular path around the castle before we went into the beautiful Waldnaabtal. Once there, the riverside path starts at the log cabin. The rooty path leads through an incredibly …

May 20, 2024,Kammerwagen – Erlebnis Waldnaabtal Runde von Falkenberg

On the way home from Dresden I stopped in the Waldnaabtal and I have to say it was worth it.

The tour is really amazing, pure nature, you hardly hear any traffic, unless you're hiding in the forest 😜

You should download the route in advance because there is zero reception on certain sections.

September 6, 2025,Von Falkenberg ins Waldnaabtal

The Waldnaab Valley—the Gran Canyon of Upper Palatinate—has been on my list for a while...
(Actually) only about half an hour from the Nagel Coach House (a favorite place where I find wonderful peace and quiet), and yet I haven't made it yet.
Now it's off to Falkenberg for a weekend; overnight stay at the Zum Goldenen Stern inn in …

Beautiful weather was forecast for today, so off we went. My neighbor Mich accompanied me again.

Our destination was Falkenberg with the beautiful Waldnaab Valley. Our hike mostly followed sections of the Goldsteig trail and the pristine Waldnaab River. The sound of the water rushing between the countless rocks was like music.

Demanding hike with numerous sensory impressions.
The starting point is a parking lot right next to a castle, suitable parking space for mobile homes. After the first and second third of the circular hike, one and the same restaurant offers a rest, food and drink.
The hike ends at a Zoigelstube.
