Discover Schwarzach b.Nabburg
Accommodation in Schwarzach
Schwarzach b.Nabburg brings together two distinct perspectives on a stay: the Kleine Schwarzachtal loop starts in the town centre, while six major cycling routes in the region meet here. St. Ulrich and the pilgrimage at Brünnl add a long religious history. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first decide whether the local programme or the wider natural and excursion area of Schwandorf should shape your trip.
On foot around the Stabberg, by bike through the region
The Kleine Schwarzachtal loop runs around the 465 m-high Stabberg and starts in the centre of Schwarzach. This means the route begins right in town, while the Stabberg also provides a clear landscape landmark for the loop. Cycling reveals a different dimension of what is on offer: Schwarzach is where the Bavarian-Bohemian Friendship Trail, the Schwarzachtal cycle path, long-distance cycle routes along the Naab and to the Regen River, the Schweppermann cycle path, the Upper Palatinate Lake District cycle path and the themed cycle routes of the Upper Palatinate Radl-Welt meet. When planning, you can choose between a local loop and these regional cycling routes. Check current route conditions before setting out.
St. Ulrich and the pilgrimage at Brünnl
The history of the St. Ulrich church building dates back to the Middle Ages. After 1725, it was converted into a three-bay hall with a recessed choir closed on three sides. A parish has been documented in Schwarzach since 1298; this date provides a distinct historical reference point for the town’s church history.
The pilgrimage at Brünnl also has specific dates in the annual calendar: it takes place on 15 August and on the Sunday after 7 October. Brünnl is located in the St. Laurentius Chapel next to St. Ulrich. In this way, the building’s history, parish history and pilgrimage stand side by side as different aspects of the local religious heritage. If you are planning to attend a pilgrimage, check the date as part of your preparations.
Schwandorf as a wider landscape area
As a broader travel destination, the district of Schwandorf is a holiday region in the Upper Palatinate Forest. The Upper Palatinate Lake District in the district of Schwandorf is a region shaped by water and diverse landscapes. There are also other nature and geology highlights: the Wald- und Heidelandschaft nature reserve provides a refuge for species that cannot survive in more densely vegetated, nutrient-rich habitats. The gneiss at Hochfels in the district of Schwandorf was included in Bavaria’s list of the 100 most beautiful geological sites. The wider region therefore encompasses everything from waterscapes and protected habitats to a particularly acclaimed geological site.
The Weiher cycle path is another specific point of reference in the district of Schwandorf. It is around 9 kilometres long, signposted continuously in both directions, connects Schwandorf with Lake Murner See and runs through the Charlottenhofer Weiher nature reserve. The BAXI Museum Line 8402 serves the Upper Palatinate Open-Air Museum in the district; check the timetable before travelling. These examples add a cycle route and a named travel option to the picture of the wider destination.
