Books on the subject of nature are generally well-suited to inspiring the reader and observer for the topic. This is especially true when it comes to excellently illustrated and empathetically described works that are thematically or geographically dedicated to a specific natural area.
In the book and art publisher Oberpfalz, two works by the photographer Siegfried Steinkohl and the author Wolfgang Benkhardt (text) have now appeared in extended new editions, which truly succeed in bringing the Steinwald nature park or the Waldnaab valley closer to the readers with impressive nature photos and explanatory texts.
Both authors show that this area is their home, and how deeply rooted they are in it. And it is clear that it is their heartfelt concern to convey these wonderful natural treasures to the readers.
Steinreich – Steinwald Nature Park
Photographer Siegfried Steinkohl was on assignment with his camera for this book for years. He shows in hundreds of shots why the Steinwald is a jewel of the Bavarian nature park landscape. Text author Wolfgang Benkhardt reveals in the updated and extended edition, why the name Steinwald actually has nothing to do with stones, how it came to be that extinct animals have returned to the region, and how valuable the work of the rangers is for the Steinwald. A book that not only informs but also makes you want to discover the Steinwald for yourself.

Steinreich – Wild romantic Waldnaab valley
The Waldnaab valley is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Upper Palatinate. At the junction of the districts of Tirschenreuth and Neustadt a. d. Waldnaab, a wonderful world of water, forest and stone has been created over a length of about twelve kilometers, which provides a home for many endangered species. Photographer Dr. Siegfried Steinkohl has captured the well-known places of the 183-hectare nature reserve with its flora and fauna in breathtaking shots, as well as the converging tributaries and streams and nearby excursion destinations. Editor Wolfgang Bernhardt has written accompanying texts.
