Yoga on your summer holiday

The Yoga Sound Sea Festival 2026: 125 workshops, concerts, and pure nature. And the Romantik Hotel Hirschen as your perfect base.

You wake up in Parsberg, enjoy a leisurely breakfast, then set off for Lake Steinberg. Less than half an hour from the Romantik Hotel Hirschen, the lake – fondly known to locals as the “Upper Palatinate Sea” – will be home to the Yoga Sound Sea Festival from 25 to 28 June 2026, now in its seventh edition.

Over four days, the event offers more than 125 workshops, ten event tents, and 80,000 square metres of open-air grounds right by the water. It sounds like a lot – and it is. But you can decide just how deeply to dive in. Day tickets make that easy: come for a single morning of yin by the lakeshore or stay all four days – hatha at sunrise, breathwork at midday, sound journeys and talks in between, kirtan concerts with international artists under the open sky in the evening.

Beginners and experienced practitioners meet on equal footing here. The festival’s real magic lies in its blend of depth and lightness. Between sessions, wander the colourful marketplace, pick up some organic snacks and handmade gifts, or simply dip your toes in the cool water. No one has to perform. Everyone can simply be.

Back at the Romantik Hotel Hirschen, your room awaits – along with the sauna, the pool, and good food to restore you after a long day by the lake. No campsite, no early-morning packing up. Just a proper holiday, with all the proper comforts: the Hirschen as your calm anchor, the festival as your adventure just around the corner.

And on the days without festival plans, the Upper Palatinate is yours to discover. Hike through the Schwarze Laber Valley, cycle along the Altmühltal Cycle Path, take a trip to UNESCO-listed Regensburg, or play a round of golf on one of seven nearby courses – the area around Parsberg offers more experiences than you can fit into a single holiday.

Book your stay, grab your yoga mat, and head to Parsberg.
