Accommodation in Wörth An Der Donau

Hiking Trails Among Valleys, Forests, and Scenic Views
Hiking Trail 2 begins at the indoor pool on Geschwelltalstraße. From there, it leads through the Gschwelltal (Paradies), along the Perlbach, and on forest trails toward Vorderzirnberg. The circular hiking trail around Wörth follows field and forest paths past Hungersacker, Hofdorf, and Tiefenthal. Along the way, it offers views of the surrounding countryside, the communities, and Wörth Castle.
The lengths of the other circular hiking trails can also be compared when planning your day: Circular Hiking Trail 1 is about 12.5 kilometers long, while Circular Hiking Trail 3 is about 11.5 kilometers. Hiking Trail 11 is just over 10 kilometers; Route 11a, marked as a shortcut, is 8 kilometers long and begins in Hofdorf. This lets you choose based on your preferred distance without treating the different routes as equivalent.
The indoor pool in Wörth a.d.Donau offers year-round swimming and has a steam room and a massage bench. It complements the hiking options with an activity in town. Check the pool’s current operating details before your arrival.
Discover the Wider Regensburg Destination
Visitors who explore the wider Regensburg destination as well as Wörth will find the Walhalla, a Neoclassical building on the Danube. Since 1842, this memorial and hall of honor has commemorated prominent Germans and people associated with German history through marble busts and plaques. Its exterior is Doric in style and includes 52 columns. From the bus stop, it is about a 20-minute walk up 358 steps to the Walhalla.
Passenger ships offer another way to get there: From Easter through October, vessels operated by Klinger and Wurm & Noé travel along the Danube from the Stone Bridge in Regensburg to the foot of the Walhalla. As the service is seasonal, it is a good idea to check sailing days when planning your trip.
The wider Regensburg destination also includes the Nepal-Himalaya Park in Wiesent. The nine-hectare site combines Asian culture and nature, with a Nepalese temple, a diverse perennial garden, and numerous Asian works of art. The park also has a Himalayan garden and a Chinese garden with more than 6,200 different plant species. This makes a visit quite different from hiking around Wörth: gardens, plant diversity, and works of art are the focus here.
The wider Regensburg destination also includes the wine education trail of the Baierwein Museum in Bach an der Donau. It is accessible at all times, provides information about the past and present of Baierwein, and introduces the Weißer Elbling grape variety. Those who include regional topics in their travel plans can choose their holiday apartment based on whether their stay will focus mainly on Wörth’s local hiking and swimming options or also include experiences in the wider Regensburg destination.
