Discover Wörth a.d.Donau

There are various ways to discover Wörth a.d.Donau: woodland trails lead through the Gschwelltal valley and along the Perlbach stream, while other routes cross fields and pass through the forest. The indoor swimming pool also offers year-round swimming. You can therefore spend your stay hiking or include the pool as another activity in your plans.

Hiking trails of varying lengths

Several circular hiking trails are available for longer outings. Circular Trail 1 is about 12.5 kilometres long and goes via Wörth, Hungersacker and Hofdorf before returning to Wörth. Circular Trail 3 is about 11.5 kilometres long and starts at the indoor swimming pool. Circular Trail 11 is just over 10 kilometres long; Route 11a, described as a shortcut, covers 8 kilometres and starts in Hofdorf. The approximate distances help you gauge the length of an outing: the two longer circular trails are similar in length, while Route 11a offers a shorter option.

Another route starts at the indoor swimming pool on Geschwelltalstraße. Hiking Trail 2 passes through the Gschwelltal, also known as Paradies, and follows woodland paths alongside the Perlbach towards Vorderzirnberg. If you would rather pass several villages, the circular trail around Wörth follows a different route: it goes along field and woodland paths past Hungersacker, Hofdorf and Tiefenthal. Along the way, you can enjoy views of the surrounding countryside, the communities and Wörth Castle.

An indoor pool to complement your hikes

The indoor swimming pool in Wörth a.d.Donau offers year-round swimming and has a steam bath and a massage bench. Combining hiking trails with the indoor pool gives you different ways to plan your days, so each outing does not have to be the same. If you plan to visit the pool, check the latest opening details before travelling.

When planning your hikes, you can choose from the different routes: the longer circular trails and the 8-kilometre shortcut offer different options in terms of distance. Hiking Trail 2, meanwhile, passes through the Gschwelltal alongside the Perlbach. Before setting out, check the local trail conditions and choose a route that suits your planned day of hiking.

More to discover in the wider Regensburg destination

The wider Regensburg destination also offers cultural and scenic highlights. Walhalla is one of Germany’s important Neoclassical buildings. This memorial and hall of fame on the Danube has honoured prominent Germans and people associated with German history with marble busts and commemorative plaques since 1842. Its exterior is Doric in style and features 52 columns.

The Nepal Himalaya Park in Wiesent offers something different. The nine-hectare site brings Asian culture and nature together, with a Nepalese temple, a diverse perennial garden and numerous Asian artworks. The park also includes a Himalayan garden and a Chinese garden, as well as more than 6,200 different plant species. In the wider Regensburg destination, garden design and plant diversity therefore offer further areas to explore alongside Walhalla’s architecture.
