A holiday in the Hallertau region is a must-do. The area offers a plethora of culinary, cultural, and architectural delights. As if the beauty of the hops fields isn't already special enough, the Hallertau region is rich in its own unique treasures. The history of hop cultivation, which dates back to the 8th century in this region, can be explored in various ways in this fascinating landscape. The German Hop Road and the Bavarian Beer Road both lead through this area. Along their paths through the hop-growing region, you will find breweries and museums that bear witness to one of Bavaria's most iconic cultural assets, the purity law (Reinheitsgebot), and brewing techniques - with tasting opportunities, of course.
The beauty of the Bavarian Beer Road, which offers routes for hikers, cyclists, and motorists alike, culminates at the Danube Gorge, where the Weltenburg Abbey and the spa town of Bad Gögging with the Limes-Therme are located.

Welcome to the Home of Hops
The Hallertau region, known as the largest contiguous hop-growing area in the world, lies on the border between Upper Bavaria and Lower Bavaria. Traveling to the Hallertau doesn't require you to be an adventurer, but be prepared for delightful surprises when exploring this hilly landscape in the heart of Bavaria. In any season, the Holledau, as the locals lovingly call their home, is a paradise. In summer, the vast green hop gardens dominate the landscape, creating a picturesque scene. In winter, the sledging, cross-country skiing, and walking paths offer the perfect opportunity for pure outdoor relaxation.
Wander along trails with charming names like Michaels-Weg, Marienweg, or Nikolausweg, and experience first-class routes for nature enthusiasts regardless of the season.
The Hopfenland encompasses an area of over 17,000 hectares, adorned with hop gardens where towering columns, known as "hopfenstangen," rise up to seven meters high, leaving an unmistakable mark. As the aromatic climbing plants wind their way up the stretched wires and reveal their harvest-ready cones at the end of August, the region is adorned with impressive greenery. The scent of freshly harvested hops is enchanting, an olfactory delight.
Take a break in the Holledau and let yourself be pleasantly surprised by the beauty and allure of this hop-filled paradise..
