Butter Barrel (Waldnaab Valley)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Geologists say that the granite lumps in the river bed come from a rock fall. A completely different explanation is given by the Falkenberg knight Kuno, who once again stalked an innocent girl. After all, there was no other way to save herself from the pursuers than with a quick prayer and a courageous leap into the Waldnaab. Suddenly it became very quiet behind her - Knight Kuno, his entourage and horses remained in the river bed, transformed into boulders.

Kammerwagen

Highlight • Natural Monument

An anectode about the chamber car:
The enchanted chamber carriage (From: J. Weidner, “Waldnaabtal and Steinwald”)

Once, when the outfitting car of a damsel of Schwarzenschwal was driving through the Naab Valley and difficult terrain hindered the journey, the angry carter uttered an evil curse, which was immediately fulfilled. Suddenly the devil, who had been summoned as a destroyer, appeared and turned the chariot and horse into stone. Therefore, the more heavily formed parts of the rock scenery are interpreted as the heads of the petrified horses and the high-piled granite benches as the former beds of the chamber carriage.

Butterfass, Waldnaab Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

This section of the Goldsteig always goes along the beautiful banks of the Waldnaab. A wonderful hiking trail with bizarre rock formations that have names like Kammerwagen, Amboss or Butterfass. They are the (provisional) result of the erosion of the Waldnaab on the Falkenberg granite plateau that runs here.

Sturdy shoes are recommended and you can refresh yourself at the southern end of the section. There you will find the Waldnaabtal log cabin, where you can take a short break.

Table Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Waldnaabtal Nature Reserve has a wow factor for me. The mighty rock formations simply leave you in awe, and the paths are well-secured, partly with wooden walkways and metal stairs. There's a very popular log cabin restaurant here with regional cuisine and a beer garden. Since there's a hiking parking lot nearby, it's a good starting point for many hikes.

Waldnaab Valley Nature Reserve

Highlight • Gorge

In the middle of the Upper Palatinate Forest between Falkenberg and Windischeschenbach lies the wild and romantic Waldnaab Valley, also known as the “Grand Canyon of the Upper Palatinate”. The river has made its way through the granite rocks and formed bizarre rock formations. In places, however, its bank is also very flat and lush green.
