Langdorf: Hiking Trails, Cross-Country Ski Trails and Parish Fair

Langdorf brings together an extensive network of hiking trails in the Bavarian Forest Nature Park, seasonal cross-country ski trails and local traditions. These different themes offer a range of ways to plan your trip: getting active in nature, winter sports or a traditional festival date.

Hiking Trails and Cycling Tours

Langdorf has an extensive network of hiking trails for exploring the Bavarian Forest Nature Park. The municipality provides a digital tour portal for its hiking trails. You will also find information there about rules of conduct and the system used for hiking trail signs. This helps with route planning and makes it easier to understand the signposting.

The chapel trail in Langdorf combines hiking with relaxation for the mind and soul. The area around the destination also offers opportunities for mountain biking tours and family cycling trips through the valleys. The options range from valley cycling routes to mountain biking tours.

Cross-Country Skiing and Seasonal Planning

Machine-groomed cross-country ski trails are available in Langdorf and in the districts of Brandten, Schöneck and Schwarzach. They offer both classic cross-country skiing and skating. Grooming and operation are seasonal; the two techniques give cross-country skiers different ways to enjoy their time on the trails.

Check the exact parish fair dates separately.

Parish Fair and Building History

The traditional parish fair in Langdorf is held in remembrance of the patron saint of the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene. Its date, on the third weekend in July, gives the festival a regular place in the annual calendar.

The chapel in the village of Waldmann, house no. 5, has its own building history: it was built in 2008 to mark the village’s 200th anniversary and completed in 2009. The chapel is built in the log cabin style and has a bell tower. Its reason for construction, year of completion and architectural style make it another aspect of Langdorf’s cultural history.

Getting Here and Finding Your Way Around

The Waldbahn RB 37 connects Zwiesel, Langdorf and Bodenmais. Guests in the municipality of Langdorf receive a GUTi ticket on arrival and can use it for free public transport throughout the Bayerwald-Ticket fare zone. If you are planning your journeys by train, check the current timetable and operating conditions before you travel.

More Things to Discover in the Regen Destination

In the Regen destination, regular public tours introduce Regen’s beer and ice cellars as the historic “Regener Underworld” and explain their history. There are also 13 terrain therapy trails in and around the town of Regen. Skates and equipment can be rented on site at the Regen Ice Sports Centre. The Grubhügel cross-country ski trail in Regen can be used for both skating and diagonal stride techniques.

Nature and geology are also part of the Regen destination. The quartz rock formations near Weißenstein Castle Ruins were placed under nature protection in 1940 because of their geological significance. The Pfahl near Weißenstein is an important habitat for rare heat-loving and drought-tolerant animal and plant species adapted to nutrient-poor locations. Another way to explore the area is the Beer Experience Hike: it is about 5 km long, with almost half of the route running directly alongside the Regen River.
