Highlight • Viewpoint
There is an alley in Kallmünz where you can not even hear the bells ringing in the church: the Vilsgasse, which the Schlossberg seals off from all sound on its other side. So that the Vilsgäßler but knew what it had beaten, used to call an errand boy, when it went to the fair. So he was a living bell for the Kallmünzern. But for years, the Vilsgässler have their own bell of ore. It hangs on the house from Rößlwirt. And when it's time to worship, he beats her - and with the other bells, she too rings in the church. (From the book "Twelve o'clock ringing from the district of Regensburg")

House without a Roof (Kallmünz)
Highlight • Cave
The house consists of a natural cave in the dolomite rock, the opening of which is closed off by a plastered wall with a door and windows. Inside, there is a hallway, a living room, two storage rooms fitted into rock niches, and a historic smokehouse.
The oldest known mention of the cave dwelling is found in a document dated 1707, preserved in the land registry archive in Amberg. In the 19th century, it was also referred to as the "House Under the Rock." In 1908, it was sold to the owner of the blacksmith's shop located across the road, and it remains in his family's possession. The last permanent resident left the house in 1937 because he developed rheumatism due to the damp cave air.
