Hohenwarth lies in the valley of the Weißer Regen between the Hohenbogen to the north and the Kaitersberg to the south. The municipality belongs to the Cham district in Bavaria. The valley provides the landscape’s defining orientation; the Lamer-Winkel-Arber Cycle Path, marked hiking trails, a Goldsteig connecting trail and a cross-country ski connection each offer a different focus. When choosing a place to stay, it is therefore helpful to first decide what interests you most: cycling, hiking, architectural history or cross-country skiing each appeal to different interests.

Hiking: long-distance trail, marked routes and peaks

Around 150 km of marked hiking trails are associated with Hohenwarth. In addition, a direct connecting trail recognised by a tourism association leads to the Goldsteig. The Räuber-Heigl hiking trail is also among the hiking options associated with Hohenwarth. For specific hikes, check local trail conditions and signage.

On the Hohen Bogen, an 8 km mountain hike crosses five peaks: Burgstall, Bärenriegel, Eckstein, Schwarzriegel and Ahornriegel. The distance and peak names provide concrete reference points for planning a hike. Allow around two hours from Hohenwarth for a hike to the rocky ridges of the Kaitersberg—including Steinbühler Gesenke, Hohenstein and Rauchröhren; the route and conditions can affect the time.

Cycling, cross-country skiing and architectural history

Hohenwarth lies directly on the Lamer-Winkel-Arber Cycle Path. Check the route conditions locally before setting out. In winter, the Auerhahn-Höhenloipe and Riedelstein-Loipe form a cross-country ski connection of more than 35 km from Hudlach, a district of Hohenwarth, to Bretterschachten. The route length and grooming depend on seasonal conditions, so the conditions at the time are key to planning. Cycling and cross-country skiing offer different focuses and can help determine which time of year you would like to visit Hohenwarth.

Hohenwarth’s architectural history also has specific dates: the Old Church was built in 1589. Its surviving presbytery was renovated from 1983 to 1989. The presbytery is the chancel of the Old Church. If you are looking for a historical connection as well as outdoor activities when choosing a destination, this offers a distinct local point of interest.
