June 4, 2026,Vils- und Naabtalrunde über die Burgruine Kallmünz von Traidendorf

This hike is a gem. In just a few kilometers, you experience atmospheric changes that are rarely found even in the Oberpfalz. The tour leads almost exclusively on pure footpaths. Via Vilsauen, gentle field landscapes, beautiful forest paths, impressive views into the Naabtal valley, Kallmünz including its charming castle and a final dream path between the dreamy Vils river and …

Then it went uphill again towards Kallmünzer Castle. The view from the castle is always a great experience. Then we went down the Burgsteig to Kallmünz to our …

Then the actual hike begins. It heads northeast across the plateau, first to Eich, then a little further …
