Rundwanderweg Haidstein - Ried

On the paths of Wolfram von Eschenbach and to the former castle on the Haidstein: You leave the town center along side streets in the direction of Zeltendorf, Bachmaierholz and Liebenstein (refreshments: Wellness-Hotel Bayerwaldhof). After a valley hollow, the path climbs steadily towards Haidstein (742 m) with its castle chapel. The former keep offers a distant view of the Cham valley. After a refreshment stop at the Haidsteiner Hütte, the trail then descends along forest paths to the hamlet of "Ried am Haidstein". In the middle of the village stands the mighty 1000-year-old Wolfram lime tree, where the famous minnesinger Wolfram von Eschenbach is said to have once stayed. The route continues downhill through extensive forests in the direction of Gradis. After crossing the main road, the trail turns into the pristine and natural Steinbach valley. After another crossing of the main road and the Weißer Regen river, you walk on the right side of the river past the Magdalenenkapelle chapel on the Regenstein and via the "Auwiesen" spa park back to Bad Kötzting.
