The Upper Palatinate Forest - Highlights

The Oberpfälzer Wald is a low mountain range in eastern Bavaria that extends through the Oberpfalz along the border with the Czech Republic. It adjoins the Fichtelgebirge to the north and transitions into the Bayerischer Wald to the south; beyond the border it continues into the Böhmerwald. The landscape is sparsely populated, heavily forested and characterized by wooded peaks, streams and small ponds. Peace and quiet, vast forests and a network of hiking trails make the region a rather peaceful destination for outdoor activities.

There is a lot to discover. We have selected the best sights and cycling and hiking destinations for you:
