Schwandorf has around 28,200 residents and lies at the confluence of the Naab and Schwarzach rivers in the Oberpfalz (Upper Palatinate) of Bayern. The Felsenkeller, a network of medieval rock cellars beneath the old town, were carved into sandstone for beer storage and can be visited on guided tours. The town served as a railway junction connecting Regensburg with northeastern Bavaria.
Regensburg is about 50 kilometres south. Weiden in der Oberpfalz lies roughly 40 kilometres north. Amberg is around 30 kilometres northwest. The Oberpfaelzer Seenland (Upper Palatinate lake district), created from former brown coal mines, provides swimming and sailing lakes nearby. Schwandorf's economy mixes small manufacturing with service industries.
