Hemau: Culture, Activities and Discoveries

Hemau combines culture at the Zehentstadel with play and activity options ranging from toys from the 19th and 20th centuries to a pump track and a digital treasure hunt. The different options provide a reason to plan your itinerary around the interests of your fellow travellers.

Culture at the Zehentstadel and Toy Museum

Kulturstadel Hemau e.V. was founded in January 2005. Its aim is to fill the Zehentstadel with cultural life. Since renovation work was completed in December 2003, the building has served as a cultural centre. It houses the municipal library and municipal archive, as well as council and civic halls. The two multipurpose event rooms are intended for talks, readings and concerts. The Zehentstadel thus brings cultural institutions together with spaces for a range of event formats.

The Hemau Toy Museum displays toys from the 19th and 20th centuries, including dolls, toy shops, metal and wooden construction sets, and a working model railway. The collection offers a glimpse of different forms of play and construction. Visiting hours are listed as running from the Spring Market on the last Sunday in April through July, and from mid-September through December. The museum is open on the first and third Sunday of each month from 2 to 4 pm. Check the visiting hours before your visit.

Play, Activities and Digital Discoveries

Hemau’s “Kuhtrails” dirt park has a children’s pump track for the youngest visitors. Older children, teenagers and adults can use a large pump track as well as small, medium and large dirt lines, where they can practise jumps and stunts. The different areas give families with children of different ages specific ways to explore their interests at the dirt park without everyone having to use the same track.

“The Treasure at Hessenweiher” is a digital outdoor treasure hunt for teams that takes them around Hemau town centre. Participants follow an investigation chat on their smartphones, receive clues and use an interactive map that leads to various locations in Hemau. It combines a shared puzzle-solving challenge with movement between several locations; unlike the dirt park, the focus here is on solving the clues.

The first phase of the approximately 3,200 m² adventure playground in Tangrintelpark opened in July 2026; further development is taking place in stages through 2029. The completed site is planned to include around 35 pieces of play equipment, as well as an inclusive playground, an adventure landscape and a water play area. The facilities are intended for children of all ages. When planning your trip, the stage of construction is an important difference compared with the cultural and toy-related options described above.

In the wider Regensburg destination

In the wider Regensburg destination, Walhalla is located in Donaustauf, a Neoclassical memorial and hall of fame on the Danube. Since 1842, notable Germans and figures associated with German history have been honoured there with marble busts and plaques. The exterior is designed in the Doric style and features 52 columns. From Easter to October, passenger boats operated by Klinger and Wurm & Noé run from the Stone Bridge in Regensburg to the foot of Walhalla. From the bus stop, an approximately 20-minute walk up 358 steps leads to the site. As boat services are seasonal, check operating dates before your trip.
