Water walking on the rain - Wasserwandern auf dem Regen

The rain is the largest river in Bavaria with a length of 156 km Upper Palatinate.

View over the rain to Ramspau

The 107 km long river stretch from the backwater of the Blaibach reservoir resp. the union of white and black rain at Pulling near Blaibach was called Water hiking trail expanded and is very suitable for multi-day vacation trips as well as just day trips.

The sixteen weirs are all well signposted and relocatable and some are also mobile. The route is lined with numerous restaurants and overnight accommodations in the towns of the Upper Palatinate. Thanks to a regional train connection from the end of the journey to regensburg up to the point of insertion Blaibach or Cham (Upper Palatinate) the vehicle can be retrieved with reasonable effort.

background

Rain (river map)

The source rivers from the Czech - Bavarian border region around the border town Eisenstein flow as Big rain until union with the Little rain at Zwiesel. From then on, the body of water is called Black Rain designated. The White rainarises as Seebach from the small Arbersee also near the Czech border. When pulling near Bad Kötzting the two rivers unite and from here on the body of water is called rain designated.

"Beware of stones" in the river Regen

The White rain is easier to navigate according to the information in the DKV canoe guide, the Black rain provides with the routes from the town rain higher demands on the whitewater experience. The route at Bärenloch and Gumpenrieder Schwall with white water up to IV is reserved for experienced canoeists. Due to serious accidents, life jackets and hard hats must be worn on the section rain to Teisnach Mandatory. This is followed by longer transfer points and longer paddling sections on the Höllensteinsee and the Blaibacher reservoirs for hiking paddlers, so that the tour is best planned from Blaibach, especially for inexperienced paddlers.

From the frequently used insertion point below the dam of the Blaibacher reservoir resp. from the road bridge of Blaibach is the rain than Water hiking trail developed and with little difficulty (tame water - wild water I) and weirs that are easy to move around, also mobile for inexperienced paddlers. The water hiking trail is divided into five daily stages that can be easily mastered on one day, well documented and signposted on site.

Despite the brownish-boggy color, the water of the rain is olive-brown-cloudy after rainfalls, of good quality, but the river bed and the stones hidden here and also the depth of the river are often barely recognizable. In the section from Blaibach to Cham and especially in the Regental to Nittenau there are countless rounded rocks in the river bed. Some of them protrude above the surface of the water (and only lead to abrupt evasive maneuvers if the boat operator is inattentive). More insidious are those just below the surface of the water that draw attention to themselves with little rippling of the water surface at low flow speeds.

preparation

Bathing pleasure in the rain

Boat material:

  • Section Blaibach / Regensburg: The route can be traveled with kayaks and also with walking canoes (single and double) without any problems. Due to the murky water, boulders in the water can often not be seen early, which makes the use of plastic boats (Royalex) preferable. Even with kevlar boats and folding canoes you have to be careful when navigating. In summer after periods of drought, the floods can repeatedly hit the ground. Many of the round rocks in the water are smooth and mossy. Unfortunately, there are also numerous "angular fellows" hiding. This also applies to the banks, which are largely built over the entire course.
There is little danger from tree corpses, some of which are hidden below the water level, which can lead to boat damage or capsizing.

equipment: The equipment required in terms of clothing, safety equipment, provisions, etc. depends to a large extent on your own requirements as well as on the duration of the tour. Even if the rain is shallow for long stretches and the banks are always within reach for experienced swimmers, in the interest of your own safety, wearing a life jacket / swimming aid is recommended, at least for children.

For Day tours (Recommended and also "managed" by landlords are the stages in particular Blaibach - Cham (Possibly only half-day tour to Chamerau) or Nittau - Rampspau). These tours can be started in the rental boat with little provisions and water, swimming trunks, sunscreen and a photo camera.
Are particularly attractive Multi-day toursfor which all equipment must be carried. Then you need a tent (mosquito repellent), sleeping bag and mats, mosquito repellent, respectively. Incense coils, clothing, sun protection and water shoes, possibly a petrol or gas stove - and the hiking canoe is quickly fully loaded. Drinks and bread rolls are available in many places along the way. There are drinking water points at numerous rest stops. Restaurants can be found in all localities in the Upper Palatinate, which is well catered for.
One of his own Boat cart is especially important when moving at the weir of Stefling (after Nittenau) extremely helpful. Portages with the loaded walking canoe are also made much easier. However, many insertion and release points are designed in the form of stairs (some with wooden plank protection) and cannot be passed with the boat trolley. The boat must be lifted out of the water.

Accommodation and meals: Catering options in typical Bavarian restaurants and beer gardens can be found almost everywhere near the river, even more often at camping or sports grounds, at least a simple drink bar.

Campsites: At the stage locations, you will always find simply furnished tent sites or hiking paddler meadows with toilets, showers, drinking water points and disposal facilities geared to the needs of water hikers.

Canoe rental

Several boat rental companies offer kayaks and walking canoes for rent. A simple overview plan with the conditions on the course of the route, waterproof bags, paddles and life jackets are handed in. As a rule, you need to bring a boat cart yourself.

getting there

Oberpfalzbahn runs along the Regen to Blaibach

The supply of the region with public transport in the Upper Palatinate is more than enough for the needs of water hikers. However, the sequence of moves is not too tight.

You can travel to the region of the deployment points near Cham or Blaibach via the following federal highways:

For car retrieval from regensburg recommends the B15 from the launch point on the Wöhrdinsel northwards and then the B16 past Nittenau and Roding. Alternatively, the route via the A3 and the B20 possible.

The Insertion point in Blaibach / Kreuzbach is from the B85 off on the St2140 attainable, the Insertion point at the clubhouse of the canoe club in Cham from the exit Cham center the B85, after the bridge past the parking garage and then right onto the Badstrasse turn into ("Technologie Campus").

By train, Cham is across the route Schwandorf – Furth in the forestthat of the Upper Palatinate Railway is served every hour. Of regensburg to Schwandorf there are regular connections with cheap connections to the Upper Palatinate Railway.

From the train station in the northwest just outside the old town is the Insertion point at the building of the Graf Luckner canoe club via the Ludwigstrasse, the street On the hill, the underpass of Further Straße and then on Badstrasse Can be reached on foot in 20-25 minutes (return car ...).

To go to Insertion point at Blaibach To get there, take the OPB4 line from Cham Bad Kötzting - Lam, which is served every two hours (note longer intervals when returning the car). The starting point at the weir of the Blaibach reservoir is 3 km away, so you have to consider doing without the first two kilometers of the river and using it just above the Blaibach - Kreuzbach road bridge, which is only a few minutes' walk away.

Ein langes Schrägwehr führt das Wasser in Richtung des am linken Ufer gelegenen Kraftwerks Stefling. Das Wehr ist nicht fahrbar. At the Auswasserungsstellerechten Ufer ist eine Umtragung am Beginn des Schrägwehrs signalisiert. Hier hat man die Alternative auf dem schmalen Wasser des Fischpasses zwischen Steinen und Schwällen durchzukommen (mit einem Wanderkanadier nicht fahrbar, unbedingt besichtigen) oder bei der signalisierten Stelle auszuwassern und entlang der asphaltierten Straße ca. 300 m weit zu umtragen (hier ist der Bootswagen extrem hilfreich) und auf einer Schotterstraße zur Einwasserungsstelle Einwasserungsstelle zum Regen hinabzufahren. Danach etwas schmale aufgezweigte Wasserläufe mit Gefahr von Stein- und Grundberührungen. Ein schweres Boot muss getreidelt werden.

The Gasthof Marienthal ist ein beliebtes Ziel von Wander- oder Radtouristen, die sich hier von einem Fährboot über den Fluss übersetzen lassen können. Am rechten Ufer liegt die Burgruine Stockenfels. Man erzählt sich, dass in den Ruinen der Raubritterburg aus dem 14. Jhdt. die armen Seelen der in Bayern besonders berüchtigten Bierpanscher allnächtlich zur Geisterstunde ihr Stelldichein geben und zur Strafe für ihre Vergehen nächtelang Wasser aus dem Burgbrunnen schöpfen müssen.

Auf den folgenden vier Kilometern können zahllose riesige runde Felsen, die teils aus dem Wasser ragen und teils nur ganz knapp überspült werden, immer wieder zu abrupten Steuermanövern und auch mal Bootskontakten führen. Teils beschleunigte Strömung mit Schwällen zwischen den Felsen, die die Aufmerksamkeit der Kanubesatzung fordern. Einige der großen Felsen laden zum (Sonnen-)Baden oder zur Rast ein. Die Ufer sind teils steil. Links wird der Regen von der Straße resp. dem Fahrradweg begleitet.
