Regen, District capital in Bavaria, Germany.
Regen is a district capital located in the Bavarian Forest region of eastern Bavaria. The town sits in a forested area shaped by its surrounding natural landscape.
The current district was formed in 1972 through the merger of two earlier administrative areas. This marked a turning point in how the region was governed.
The district coat of arms displays Bavaria's blue and white pattern, alongside symbols of the glass industry, forest resources, and local castles.
The town is easily accessible by car and serves as a good base for exploring the Bavarian Forest. Visitors can find various accommodations and dining options throughout the area.
The town takes its name from the Regen river system, which consists of two separate waterways. These two river channels define the water features of the entire region.
