Map of the Schwandorf Region:
German people love forests and they love water. Naturally you can't compare our lakes with the Great Lakes or the lakes we have up North in Canada.
But people are working on it to improve the situation. In Upper Palatinate, where the Schwandorf Region is located, brown coal has been mined for decades.
After the end of this mining period a myriad of lakes surrounded by forests are attracting more and more people who love non motorized water sport, fishing, hiking, biking, horse back riding or just having a good time by relaxing.
Culture is another attraction of this area.

Nature is always good for your mind

Fishing is getting more popular - but check for a permit before you start
Visit Bruck and stop at the "Mappacher
Heimat- und Bauernmuseum". See how Bavarians lived in the past. If you like it, don't worry there are more museums in this region - just ask at any tourist office.
At the "Mappacher Museum"
Walk around in Bruck, using one of the walking trails. If you are still not tired and you want some company, go to the "Freizeitzentrum" (sports complex). You can play tennis, do some "summer curling", try Bavarian bowling or use the shooting range.
Neunburg - the place for horseback riding and much more
A full activity program is offered. You just must choose what you like to do. If you are here in the summer time, ask about the schedule of a special performance which takes place in the local castle. It brings back the time when looting followers of the reformer
Jan Hus where faced by a local defense force. Don't forget your camera equipment!
The "witches" from Nittenau
Each Christian country that I know of, still has events which have nothing to do with Christianity. They date back to unknown times by me, but most of them you should consider as fun and naturally as business. (Just think about Halloween, the Easter rabbit
and even how Christmas is being marketed today)
So don't think bad if we tell you that a "Geisterwanderung" (ghost walking tour) is offered in "Nittenau". During this evening you will be guided to various spooky places in the valley of the river "Regen". As I heard, it is lots of fun.
