history

The Eslarner Bockl was finally closed on December 1, 1995. Just one year after the line was closed, the district of Neustadt an der Waldnaab began building the line between Eslarn and Vohenstrauß in cooperation with the neighboring communities and with funds from the nature park funding and the EU ; the 24-kilometer section was completed in 1999. Another section (8 km) between Neustadt an der Waldnaab and Floß was opened in 2003, followed in 2004 by the 9 km long section between Floss and Albersrieth . The last construction phase, the line between Albersrieth and Vohenstrauß, was handed over to its destination on July 30, 2005. The total costs of the Bocklradweg amounted to 2.2 million euros.

Since the Bockl cycle path crosses the Bavarian-Bohemian Geopark with geotopes and mineral discovery sites, it is also known as the geo cycle path .

The Bockl cycle path is part of the Paneuropean cycle path , which was inaugurated at the end of 2008 and leads from Paris to Prague .
