Visitors choosing Pfreimd as a destination can plan their trip around culture or outdoor routes. The vaulted Schlosskeller serves as an exhibition space for the MUSEUM PFREIMD; the parish church has epitaphs commemorating the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg and an interior designed by Schmuzer. Options for getting active include easy walks on Eixlberg, a three-day stage tour and the Pfreimdtal cycle path. This selection offers different ways to plan a trip: a cultural theme, a walk or a route spanning several stages.

Culture, the Church and a Recurring Event

The vaulted Schlosskeller serves as an exhibition space for the MUSEUM PFREIMD. The parish church offers another cultural point of interest: its epitaphs commemorate the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg, while the interior designed by Schmuzer provides a second focus on the design of the church interior. In this way, memorials and furnishings come together as two distinct aspects of cultural history.

The Eixlberg festival takes place twice a year, on Whit Monday and in early September; visitors are welcome. If you would like to plan your trip around the festival, schedule your travel dates for one of these two periods and check the exact event date before setting off.

Walks and Stage Tours

Numerous hiking trails on Eixlberg loop around the hill or cross it, and are suitable for easy walks. When choosing a route, you can start by deciding which course you prefer: around the hill or across it. This gives you an option for an easy outing on foot.

Pfreimd is also a starting point for the Erlebniswelt Sagen & Geschichten, a three-day stage tour. This involves a different scale of planning from a walk on Eixlberg: the tour is designed to last three days and can be considered a focus of its own for your trip. If you include this option, it is best to distinguish the multi-day stage tour from a single walk.

Cycling and Route

The Pfreimdtal cycle path runs from Pfreimd via Trausnitz, Tännesberg, Burgtreswitz, Moosbach and Lohma to Eslarn. The sequence of towns makes the route clear: Pfreimd is at the start, Eslarn at the end, and the cycle path passes through the towns listed in between. If you would like to plan your stay around a cycling route, you can consider this route as a separate option alongside the walks on Eixlberg and the three-day stage tour.
