Langdorf: Hiking, cross-country skiing and the parish fair

Langdorf offers several options to consider when planning a trip: hiking in the Bavarian Forest Nature Park, seasonal cross-country skiing, local culture and a Waldbahn rail connection. If you are looking for a hotel in Langdorf, weighing these topics can help you plan the timing of your trip and how to get there.

Getting here and local public transport

The Waldbahn RB 37 connects Zwiesel, Langdorf and Bodenmais. Check the current timetable and operating conditions before travelling. Guests staying in the municipality of Langdorf receive the GUTi ticket upon arrival and can use public transport throughout the Bayerwald-Ticket fare area free of charge. When planning, you can therefore consider the connections between the places mentioned and the ticket arrangements for guests separately.

Hiking trails and cycling tours

Langdorf has an extensive network of hiking trails in the Bavarian Forest Nature Park right on its doorstep. The municipality provides a digital tour portal for its hiking trails, with information on rules of conduct and the system used for hiking trail signs. You can take this information into account when planning your route. The Chapel Hiking Trail in Langdorf combines hiking with relaxation for the mind and soul.

Cycling is another option in the Langdorf area: there are opportunities for mountain-bike tours in the hills, as well as cycling tours through the valleys with the family. This offers different types of cycling to choose from without presupposing a specific route.

Seasonal cross-country skiing

Machine-groomed cross-country ski trails are available in Langdorf and the districts of Brandten, Schöneck and Schwarzach. They are suitable for both classic cross-country skiing and skating. Trail grooming and operation depend on the season, so check trail conditions for your travel dates. The two techniques mentioned let you plan your cross-country skiing according to your preferred style.

Parish fair and chapel in Waldmann

The traditional parish fair in Langdorf commemorates the patron saint of the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene. It takes place annually on the third weekend in July. You should check the exact festival dates separately when planning your trip.

A chapel in the village of Waldmann, house no. 5, was built in 2008 to mark the village’s 200th anniversary and completed in 2009. It was built in the log-cabin style and has a bell tower. The occasion and the completion therefore fall in two consecutive years: 2008 marks the reason for its construction, and 2009 the completion of the work.

More things to see and do in the wider Regen destination

In the wider Regen destination, the beer and ice cellars in the town of Regen are regularly presented on public guided tours as the historic “Regener Underworld,” where their history is explained. The quartz rocks at Weißenstein Castle Ruins were placed under nature conservation protection as early as 1940 because of their geological significance. The Pfahl at Weißenstein is an important habitat for rare heat-loving and drought-tolerant animal and plant species adapted to nutrient-poor sites.

There are 13 terrain 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 skating and diagonal stride. Another hiking option in the wider destination is the Beer Experience Hike: it covers about 5 km, and almost half of the route runs directly alongside the Regen River.
