Discover Hauzenberg

Hauzenberg offers a range of ways to shape your stay: Freudensee and trails through nature offer a different focus from exhibitions on the history of the Earth and railways, or the summer cultural events. If you are looking for a hotel in Hauzenberg, these themes can help you decide what to focus on when planning your trip.

Freudensee and the Nature Trail

Freudensee is a centuries-old reservoir covering around seven hectares. A circular path runs around the lake, passing a natural shoreline and largely untouched countryside. It is an inviting place for walks all year round. This lets you combine time by the water with a walk through the surrounding landscape.

Another way to experience the local natural environment is the 1.6-kilometre nature trail along the Staffelbach. The trail is circular and has twelve stations. At least one audio recording can be heard at each station, adding audio commentary to what you observe along the way. The trail’s length and number of stations give it a clear structure, without requiring you to assume a specific walking time.

Cycling and Other Activities

Hauzenberg is in the heart of a cycling area with a network of more than 380 kilometres of routes. This provides a broad framework for planning your rides, but does not in itself indicate the route or difficulty of any individual trail. As the size of the network may change, check the current route information if it is important to your plans.

Rocco-Park brings together a range of activities: these include a skate and bike facility, climbing opportunities, trampolines and slides, as well as football and streetball. This is a different way to spend your time than going for a hike or bike ride. Which of these activities fits your plans depends on what you want to focus on during your visit.

Granite, the History of the Earth and the Visitor Mine

At the Granite Centre Bavarian Forest, multimedia exhibitions range from the history of the Earth to railways. The centre also includes a demonstration quarry, where visitors are welcome to spend time. The exhibitions and demonstration quarry offer different ways to explore the subject of stone: one focuses on curated exhibitions, the other on the quarry as part of the grounds.

The Graphit Kropfmühl visitor mine has its own museum and exhibition area. This area is accessible to visitors with disabilities; this applies to the museum and exhibitions, not the underground tour. The exhibition texts are in German and English. If language is an important factor for your visit, check the latest information before you travel.

Culture in Summer

From June onwards, the cultural weeks, spa concerts and Hauzenberg fair shape the summer programme in Hauzenberg. The specific event dates vary from year to year. So if you would like to plan your stay around an event, check the dates for the relevant year.

Plan Your Stay

The attractions offer different focuses: Freudensee, the nature trail and the cycling area are all about spending time in the landscape; the granite centre and visitor mine add exhibitions and insights into the region. Rocco-Park and the summer events offer further options. When looking for a hotel in Hauzenberg, you can start by considering which of these themes are most important to your trip.
