Autumn Holiday in Bavaria: Nature, Tranquillity and Local Delights at the Hollerhöfe

The gently rolling hills of the northern Upper Palatinate are made for long walks and day hikes – especially in autumn, when the trails are quieter, the air is crisp and the colours of the season are at their most vibrant. From the Hollerhöfe, a wide range of hiking routes are accessible right from the doorstep. Whether it’s a walk through the peaceful pond landscapes near Muckenthal, a climb up the Rauher Kulm for sweeping views, or a path through woodland with glimpses of historic ruins – each trail tells its own story.

Our tip: Our “Wander.Lust” package combines the joy of hiking with indulgent extras, including a hearty breakfast and a detailed hiking map.

Autumn in the Hollerhöfe has many faces – and each one has its charm. On sunny days, pack a picnic and seek out a quiet corner in nature. Perhaps a clearing at the edge of the forest with views of the treetops, or a sunny hillside above the village, perfect for reading, thinking or simply enjoying the moment.

If the weather turns cooler or rainy, the surrounding region still has much to offer. The Volcano Museum in Parkstein is an engaging place to learn about the geological history of the Upper Palatinate. A visit to Waldeck Castle reveals the local heritage – and the panoramic view from the castle hill is stunning, even in mist.
