This area is ideal for couples who appreciate history and a relaxed pace, with many traditional taverns and local craft shops to explore.For those seeking a tranquil retreat with easy access to outdoor activities, the areas just outside the Old Town, particularly towards the Birnbaum Forest, are excellent. These neighbourhoods often feature hotels and guesthouses with views of the surrounding hills and woodlands. They are superb for solo travellers or couples who enjoy hiking, cycling, or simply unwinding in a peaceful setting, while still being a short walk or drive from the Old Town's attractions.

This is also when many local festivals take place, providing a glimpse into traditional Bavarian culture.Late spring (May) brings blooming wildflowers and comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 10°C to 18°C. It's a lovely time for scenic walks and enjoying the natural beauty of the region before the peak tourist season.
