About Arrach
Arrach lies at 490 metres in the Cham district of the Oberpfalz, in the Lamer Winkel, a valley between the Hoher Bogen, Osser, Arber and Kaitersberg. Lam, at about 2,600 people, is the largest village in the valley, and Lohberg is the third municipality. Hiking trails run along the valley and up to the summits, and in winter the valley has cross-country skiing. The Großer Osser, 1,293 metres, sits on the Czech border, with steep, rocky paths and views into the Bohemian Forest. Our homes sit close together around Arrach. Most are for around four people, with two bedrooms, and a few sleep many more. Some have a garden.
