The Oberpfalz (Upper Palatinate) is an area of beautiful rolling hills, romantic valleys, pretty villages, green forests, castle ruins and an extensive network of hiking and biking trails. It is a region where you can really relax and enjoy life. Both locals and tourists can enjoy nature, culture, heritage, sports and many leisure activities. In addition to the world heritage city of Regensburg, the Oberpfalz offers sand skiing or sand boarding on  Monte Kaolino, as well as kite surfing on lake Steinberger See. Discover the natural wild European orchid called the lady's slipper or visit the outdoor museum called the Freilandmuseum.

If you enjoy exploring different types of culture and customs, then visit the numerous church festivals held throughout the region (Edelsfeld fest is the first weekend of September).
