The Bavarian East Mark Road is one of the most beautiful routes for a relaxed convertible tour in Bavaria. It connects the traditional town of Waldsassen with the Three Rivers City of Passau and leads through a varied landscape of gentle hills, historic sites, and idyllic river valleys.

 The combination of culture, nature, and cozy country roads, which are perfect for a pleasurable drive in the open air, is particularly appealing.

The Stages of the Convertible Tour on the Bavarian East Mark Road

Waldsassen – Baroque Splendor and Monastic Tradition

The convertible tour begins in the tranquil Waldsassen, which is especially known for its impressive monastery. The basilica, with its baroque decor, is among the most beautiful churches in Bavaria. The famous monastery library with its intricate wood carvings is also worth a visit. Those wishing to fortify themselves before the drive can do so in one of the traditional inns offering hearty Bavarian specialties.

From Marktredwitz to Weiden – Along the Bohemian Border

The route continues through the Fichtel Mountains to Marktredwitz, where a detour to the nearby Luisenburg Rock Labyrinth is worthwhile. It goes on through small villages and gentle hilly landscapes to Weiden in the Upper Palatinate. The old town, with its colorful gabled houses and charming pedestrian zone, invites a leisurely stroll.

Regensburg – UNESCO World Heritage by the Danube

Regensburg is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this route. The historic old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and features countless sights, including the Stone Bridge, St. Peter's Cathedral, and the Old Town Hall. There is a lovely promenade along the Danube, where small cafés and beer gardens beckon for a stop.

Through the Bavarian Forest – Pure Nature

From Regensburg, the journey continues towards the Bavarian Forest, one of the most beautiful natural regions in Germany. The winding roads meander through dense forests, past idyllic villages and impressive viewpoints. Those interested in a little hike can make a stop at the Großer Arber, the highest mountain in the region.

Passau – The Venice of Bavaria

The crowning finale of the convertible tour is Passau, the picturesque city at the confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz rivers. The imposing St. Stephen's Cathedral with the largest cathedral organ in the world, the winding alleys of the old town, and the Oberhaus Fortress offer an impressive panorama. A boat trip on the rivers or a relaxed walk along the waterfront promenade perfectly completes the journey.
