The Regental Cycle Path runs from Miltach along the Regen River, while Altrandsberg Castle adds a cultural highlight with a WeltKunstMuseum and replicas from different periods. The annual Martiniritt also takes place in November. When planning your trip, it’s worth considering the different options: exercise by the river, a museum visit or a date centred on the traditional ride.

Cycling, paddling and relaxing by the water

The Regental Cycle Path runs from Miltach via Chamerau to Cham and back along the same route. It follows the Regen River for most of the way, is almost entirely paved and is signposted. The tour described is therefore an out-and-back trip along the same route. Remember to plan for the return journey and check current information about the surface and signposting before setting off.

From Miltach, you can also take to the water on the Regen River towards Regensburg. Depending on your fitness level, options include adventure, half-day, full-day, multi-day and whitewater tours. The route passes through quiet, idyllic hilly countryside along the river. The choice of tour therefore varies not only in duration but also in format. Confirm the options and conditions with the canoe provider before making plans.

If you’d like to fish, there is a short stretch of the Perlbach at its confluence with the Regen River in the Miltach town area. Check current permits and regulations before fishing.

Altrandsberg Castle and the WeltKunstMuseum

Altrandsberg Castle in the municipality of Miltach houses the WeltKunstMuseum. The impressive four-wing complex dates from the 16th or 17th century and was fully renovated by the municipality of Miltach. Today, it also houses a castle church and a kindergarten. Check the current schedule before visiting the museum.

The museum displays faithful reproductions of works of art in 17 thematically arranged glass cases. These include works that are famous around the world, whose originals are held in museums across the globe. The tour spans the Stone Age to the Baroque period. The replicas provide a thread connecting the collection’s different periods: rather than focusing on a single era, the tour takes visitors through several chapters of art history.

A November event with a long tradition

The Martiniritt in Miltach takes place every year in November. More than 200 riders often take part, riding festively decorated horses. The ride has been held more than 300 times. If you’re planning your trip around this event, confirm the arrangements for that year in advance.

More topics in the wider Cham destination

The wider Cham destination also includes individual visitor attractions in other places. In Furth im Wald, a town in the district of Cham, the Dragon Cave offers a tour with information about the town’s dragon story, the festival and the technology behind the dragon robot. The summer festival is part of the town’s Drachenstich tradition. These topics add to your plans for Cham, but are separate destinations outside Miltach.
