ACTIVITIES

Additional and more specific information about these activities is contained in the Guest Information Brochure located in each apartment and the local Tourist Info office also has information.

Bicycling

A new and wonderfully scenic bicycle path, the Regental-Radweg, passes the Bavarian Interlude Chalet and winds along the Regen river. It connects to a large network of bicycle paths which makes it possible to bicycle all the way to Budapest, Hungary. Three men from Chamerau bicycled to Vienna, Austria.

Bicycles are for rent in Chamerau at the Tourist Office and at the Bistro in the Haus des Gastes.

Canoeing

Canoeing on the Regen river usually starts at the Blaibacher See (lake) which is only a few kilometers from the Bavarian Interlude Chalet. Canoes can be rented there or from several other firms that specialize in this sport.

Fishing

The Regen river is home to the following fish: carp, tench, barbel, Brachse, Nase, eel, whitefish, trout, pike, pike-perch, Wels.
The tourist information office in Chamerau has information about obtaining a fishing permit.

Golfing

Two 18-hole golf courses, the Golf-Club Furth im Wald and the Golfplatz Wutzschleife, are within a few minutes by car from the Bavarian Interlude Chalet. Fees are very reasonable.

Hiking

Well marked hiking trails abound around the Bavarian Interlude Chalet and throughout the Bavarian Forest region. The Bavarian Forest National Park (Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald) is a paradise for hikers.

Music
