Hohenwarth: Hiking, Cycling and Cross-Country Skiing

For planning a trip to Hohenwarth, the landscape offers a clear starting point: the municipality in the district of Cham in Bavaria lies in the valley of the White Regen, between the Hohenbogen to the north and the Kaitersberg to the south. Cycling, marked hiking trails and seasonal cross-country skiing offer different focuses for planning your trip. You can decide which one to prioritise based on your own plans.

Cycling and Hiking

Hohenwarth lies directly on the Lamer-Winkel-Arber cycling trail. This is a clearly identified cycling connection to help you find your way; check the route conditions locally. Around 150 kilometres of marked hiking trails are associated with Hohenwarth. In addition, a direct access route recognised by the tourism association leads to the long-distance Goldsteig trail.

The figure of around 150 kilometres indicates the extent of the marked trails, while the access route connects to the Goldsteig. As the trail network can change, check the current route and trail conditions locally before setting out.

A mountain hike on the Hohen Bogen covers 8 kilometres and passes five peaks: Burgstall, Bärenriegel, Eckstein, Schwarzriegel and Ahornriegel. The figure of 8 kilometres describes a single hike, while the roughly 150 kilometres refers to the marked trails associated with Hohenwarth.

The journey from Hohenwarth to the rock formations of the Kaitersberg—Steinbühler Gesenke, Hohenstein and Rauchröhren—is said to take about two hours. The route and conditions can affect the duration, so treat this as an estimate when planning. The Räuber-Heigl hiking trail is another hiking option associated with Hohenwarth.

Cross-Country Skiing in Winter

In winter, a different focus opens up: from the district of Hudlach, the Auerhahn and Riedelstein high-altitude trails offer more than 35 kilometres of cross-country skiing as far as Bretterschachten. Trail length and grooming depend on seasonal conditions. Check the latest conditions before basing your plans on them.

Church and Culture in the Wider Cham Destination

The Old Church in Hohenwarth was built in 1589. The former parish house of the Old Church, which has been preserved, was renovated from 1983 to 1989.

The wider Cham destination also includes independent attractions in other places in the district. In Furth im Wald, a town in the district of Cham, the Drachenhöhle offers a tour with information about the town’s dragon story, the festival and the technology behind the dragon robot. The summer festival is part of the Drachenstich tradition. Check the operator’s latest visitor information before your visit. Neukirchen beim Heiligen Blut is also in the district of Cham: the former Pflegschloss houses the pilgrimage museum, which is furnished with treasures from the archive of the pilgrimage church. In Rötz, a town in the district of Cham, the Schwarzwihrberg nature forest reserve is also part of the “Schwarzwihrberg bei Rötz” FFH site.
