Discover Chamerau: Park, Trails and Cultural Heritage

Specific local attractions and leisure activities can help you choose Chamerau as a destination for a hotel stay: the park near the Regen, signposted Nordic walking trails and an Early Gothic baptismal font in the parish church of St Peter and Paul. Bus and train connections are also part of the town’s profile. Consider which of these themes matter to your trip and plan accordingly.

Park and fish trail

The municipality of Chamerau’s park was created in 2006 near the Regen and covers around 11,000 m². The fish trail opened in the municipal park in September 2010. Eight information boards describe 21 native fish species. This site therefore combines a connection to the river with a nature-focused theme: anyone interested in native fish can find detailed descriptions of specific species on the boards. If you plan to visit the trail, check its current accessibility in advance.

Nordic walking and other leisure activities

Since spring 2009, four Nordic walking trails of varying difficulty have been signposted in Chamerau. They range from 4.5 to 12.5 km in length. This gives you two criteria to consider when planning a tour: the distance and the level of difficulty. Take both into account when choosing, rather than relying solely on the shortest or longest route. Check current trail conditions before setting out on a specific tour.

Chamerau also has an asphalt curling rink. This adds a different leisure activity to the signposted trails. If the rink is relevant to your stay, check current operating information in advance.

Church art in Chamerau

One cultural highlight is the parish church of St Peter and Paul. Inside is an Early Gothic granite baptismal font, probably created in the mid-13th century. The twelve apostles are depicted beneath trefoil arches. Its material, style and imagery offer a tangible impression of this historic work. If you would like to see the font inside the church, check visiting arrangements in advance.

Getting there by bus and train

Chamerau is accessible by public transport, with bus and train connections. Check current connections and timetables for your specific travel dates. This lets you include travel by bus or train in your hotel-stay plans without assuming a particular connection.

More to explore in the wider Cham destination

The wider Cham destination has other distinct themes that you can explore independently of Chamerau’s local highlights. In Furth im Wald, a town in the district of Cham, the Dragon Cave offers a tour with information about the town’s dragon history, the festival and the technology behind the dragon robot. The summer festival is part of the Drachenstich tradition. If you plan to visit the Dragon Cave, check the operator’s latest visitor information.

In Rötz, the Schwarzwihrberg nature reserve is part of the “Schwarzwihrberg bei Rötz” FFH area. In Neukirchen beim Heiligen Blut, the pilgrimage museum is housed in the former administrative castle and contains treasures from the pilgrimage church’s archives. These regional examples broaden the picture of Cham, while remaining distinct attractions in their respective locations.
