Discover Alteglofsheim

Alteglofsheim can be explored through two distinct travel interests: a guided tour of Alteglofsheim Palace and trails along the Alteglofsheim–Schloss Haus route. The tour also includes the Asam Hall and the “Beautiful Rooms”; part of the route runs along the forest discovery trail, which is of interest to children.

Palace Tour and Trails in Alteglofsheim

The guided tour of Alteglofsheim Palace takes about an hour and a half. This approximate timeframe can help you fit the guided visit into your travel plans. The operator currently lists the tour; check its website for current dates before your visit.

Part of the Alteglofsheim–Schloss Haus route runs along the forest discovery trail, which is of interest to children. A section of the fitness trail also follows the same route. These notes answer different questions: the forest discovery trail section is the specific point of interest for children; the shared alignment explains where the fitness trail and the route overlap. Both connections apply only to sections. For your planning, what matters is the shared route along one section, not a continuous overlap of the trails.

In the wider Regensburg travel region

In the wider Regensburg travel region, the Walhalla represents Neoclassical architecture and a culture of remembrance. It is one of Germany’s most important Neoclassical buildings and features a Doric exterior with 52 columns. Since 1842, the memorial and hall of fame on the Danube has honored notable Germans and people connected with German history with marble busts and commemorative plaques. There are different reference points for getting there: from Regensburg, passenger boats operated by Klinger and Wurm & Noé run from the Stone Bridge to the foot of the Walhalla from Easter to October. Check operating days in advance. From the bus stop, it is about a 20-minute walk up 358 steps to the Walhalla.

Other destinations in the wider Regensburg travel region offer different highlights. The nine-hectare Nepal-Himalaya Park in Wiesent combines Asian culture and nature with a Nepalese temple, a species-rich perennial garden, and numerous Asian works of art. Its grounds include a Himalayan garden and a Chinese garden, as well as more than 6,200 different plant species. Wolfsegg Castle is one of the best-preserved castle complexes in the region.

Other options for walks and rides include the signposted Fruit Discovery Trail, which runs for about 34 kilometers from Hemau via Beratzhausen to Kallmünz; twelve large information panels stand along the cycling route. Since 2007, the ruins of Kallmünz Castle have been connected to 44 other nearby castles and castle ruins as part of the Regensburg Castle Trails. The network comprises five hiking routes totaling 200 kilometers. The highlights are distinct: the Walhalla combines architecture with a memorial function, Wiesent offers gardens and plant diversity, and the regional trails lead to different places and themes.
