Regen offers specific destinations for a range of travel interests: the Lower Bavarian Agricultural Museum explores the region’s history, the spa park lies on an island in the Black Regen, and public guided tours take visitors through historic beer and ice cellars. When choosing accommodation, you can first consider whether culture, parks and nature, or seasonal activities should shape your stay.

Culture and Events in Regen

The Lower Bavarian Agricultural Museum in Regen presents Lower Bavarian agricultural and social history from the 18th to the early 20th century across around 2,000 square metres. Visitors can set moving models, films and agricultural machinery in motion themselves at the push of a button. This combines the historical focus with interactive features that you can try out for yourself.

The programme includes special exhibitions and a wide range of events throughout the year. Regular accompanying programmes and guided tours complement a museum visit. If you have a particular event in mind for your stay, check its dates in advance.

During Drumherum, concerts as well as singers’ and musicians’ gatherings take place throughout the town centre. Venues include open-air stages, the spa park and inns known for their musical hospitality. The Pichelsteinerfest is associated with the town’s traditional Pichelsteiner stew; the festival also features a gondola parade with numerous handmade boats, whose theme changes each year.

Another cultural discovery is Regen Underground: regular public guided tours of the beer and ice cellars explain their history. Regen Public Library has more than 16,000 items across four floors. Its collection for members, guests and tourists includes regional literature, local-history resources and travel guides.

Spa Park, River and Nature at Weißenstein

Regen Spa Park lies on an island in the Black Regen. Benches, rose beds, leafy pagodas and a little stream invite you to linger by the riverbank. The park also has a sculpture trail featuring works by regional artists. The subjects include flying fish, mythical creatures and a flute player. The spa park is fully accessible; check before visiting whether any temporary construction work may affect access.

At Weißenstein Castle Ruins, the quartz rocks are also a testament to the area’s geological significance: they were designated a nature reserve as early as 1940. The Pfahl at Weißenstein is an important habitat for rare heat- and drought-loving animal and plant species adapted to nutrient-poor locations. Nature therefore complements Regen’s cultural offerings while keeping the focus on each individual place.

There are 13 terrain therapy trails in and around the town of Regen. One specific hiking option is the Beer Experience Hike: it covers about five kilometres, and almost half the route runs directly along the Regen River. These details give you an idea of the tour’s length and its riverside setting.

Activities Throughout the Seasons

In winter, the Grubhügel cross-country ski trail is a local option; it can be used for both skating and classic diagonal technique. The Franz Zwiebel Hall is the only ice sports centre in Regen district and lets people of all ages skate, whatever the weather. Skates and equipment can be rented on site at the Regen Ice Sports Centre. Check which public skating sessions are available for your dates before you travel.

Regen outdoor swimming pool also has a distinctive feature: an 85-metre-long tube slide. If you want to plan your stay around a visit, take the pool’s seasonal availability into account when choosing your dates.

Getting Around and Finding Suitable Accommodation

Regen’s city bus runs daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. The main stops are the bus station at the railway station and the town square. Check the timetable before you travel if you plan to get around town by bus.

Search for hotels in Regen based on the experiences that matter to you: museums and events, the spa park and nature, or winter sports. This lets you compare options according to your own travel priorities, rather than choosing accommodation without regard to your planned stay.
