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

When the forests of the Upper Palatinate transform into a warm display of gold, red and orange, a very special season begins around the Hollerhöfe. Autumn invites us to slow down, take a deep breath and enjoy the beauty of nature with all our senses. Those looking for a relaxing autumn holiday in Bavaria will find the perfect retreat in Waldeck near Kemnath – with hiking trails right on the doorstep, unique experiences for any weather, and moments of enjoyment that stay with you long after your stay.

Hiking through autumn: Along golden paths

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.

Relaxation in the wellness area: Warmth, peace and time for yourself

After a day spent outdoors, the Hollerhöfe wellness area is the perfect place to unwind. Enjoy the warmth of the bio or dry sauna, soak in the whirlpool or simply take in the soothing atmosphere. Natural light, peaceful surroundings and a warm interior design create a calming space for body and mind.

For even more privacy or togetherness, we offer our Private Spa option:

- 3 hours of exclusive use of the wellness area
- Includes bathrobe, towel, fresh fruit and herbal tea of your choice
Price: € 30.00 per person

Optional: Add a rose-scented bath on the bubble loungers for € 45.00 per person.

Experiencing autumn – whatever the weather

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.
