The Falkensteiner Vorwald is the gently rolling westernmost part of the Bavarian Forest in northern Lower Bavaria and southern Upper Palatinate in the German state of Bavaria.

Geography

Location

The Falkensteiner Vorwald with the market town of Falkenstein in the centre, extends southwards to immediately in front of the Danube with Deggendorf in the far southeast, Straubing roughly to the south and Regensburg immediately southwest. Its western and northwestern extent is roughly marked by the valley of the River Regen, in the extreme northwest extending as far as Maxhütte-Haidhof, Nittenau and, in the north, to Roding.

It is adjoined to the west-northwest by the Danube Hills. To the southwest it borders on the northwestern edge of the Regen Depression, to the southeast on the Upper Palatine Hills, to the east on the Central Franconian Jura and, to the north, on the Dungau.
