Laufenthal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laufenthal is a village in the Upper Palatinate (Bavaria, Germany), belonging to the administrative district (Landkreis) of Regensburg and the market town of Hemau. Technically a ward (Ortsteil) of Hemau, Laufenthal lies about five kilometers from the town, near the river Laaber. It has a medieval castle, and the remains of a Celtic settlement (Keltenschanze). The village church, dedicated to St Ottilia, belongs to the parish of Hohenschambach.

Laufenthal should not be confused with Laufental (pronounced identically) in Switzerland.
