Discover Chamerau

Chamerau combines the Regen with opportunities for exercise and cultural discovery. The municipal park is close to the river; St. Peter and Paul Parish Church is also located on the Regen. Nature, exercise and history each add a different dimension to a stay. There are also signposted Nordic walking routes and an asphalt-stock sport court. If you are looking for accommodation in Chamerau, you can start by considering whether you would like to combine your stay with nature, active pursuits or a look at historic architecture.

A park with a distinct nature theme

The municipal park was created in 2006 close to the Regen and covers about 11,000 square metres, or around 1.1 hectares. A fish trail opened in the municipal park in September 2010: eight information boards describe 21 native fish species. This gives the park a specific nature-study theme in addition to its connection with the river. The two aspects complement one another without being the same: the park is an outdoor space, while the trail draws attention to native species. For nature enthusiasts, this brings together a connection to the landscape and a chance to learn, adding another facet to Chamerau.

A medieval detail in the parish church

Chamerau’s St. Peter and Paul Parish Church contains an Early Gothic granite baptismal font, probably created in the mid-13th century. The twelve apostles are depicted beneath trefoil arches. This single work brings together material, form and imagery: granite is the material, Early Gothic describes the style, and the apostles are the subject. Trefoil arches are curved frames with a three-part outline reminiscent of a clover leaf; they give the figures a clear structure. The baptismal font is a specific cultural feature for travellers who are interested in medieval architecture as well as nature and exercise.

Routes and a range of leisure ideas

Four Nordic walking routes of varying difficulty have been signposted in Chamerau since spring 2009. They range from 4.5 to 12.5 kilometres in length, a difference of eight kilometres between the shortest and longest routes. This range makes distance a factor you can choose for yourself. Difficulty is also worth considering, since a shorter route is not automatically less demanding. You can first decide what distance fits your day’s plans, then take the indicated difficulty level into account. Distance and difficulty answer different questions.

Chamerau also has an asphalt-stock sport court. It offers a different kind of activity from the walking routes: there, you can choose from several distances and difficulty levels, while here a single leisure activity is available. When weighing up your options, you can therefore distinguish between wanting a particular walking distance and being interested in the asphalt-stock court.

Getting there and choosing accommodation

Chamerau is accessible by public transport, with bus and train connections. Check current services before travelling and include your arrival in your day’s plans. When choosing accommodation in Chamerau, you can factor in how you will get there: find out early whether bus or train will be part of your journey, and plan your stay accordingly.
