The Schwellhäusl entices you to stop with Bavarian-Bohemian cuisine and is idyllically located on the Schmalzbach threshold. The path leads over the Hochbergsattel and through…

Hans Watzlik Grove (Old‑Growth Forest)

Highlight • Forest

In the Hans-Watzlik-Hain no forestry is operated in the classical sense and the flora is left to itself. Fallen and uprooted trees, lightning strike and large broken branches testify to …

October 26, 2024,Rundweg Bussard - Von Bayerisch Eisenstein zum Schwellhäusl

The boy wanted to do a "fog tour" today (for whatever reason 😅), but unfortunately it didn't work out because we had great weather on our "Bussard" round trip 🌞🌲
The tour officially starts in B.Eisenstein and leads over the Hochbergsattel to the Schwellhäusl and after a delicious lunch over the iron cross back to the hiking car park (free …

The tour is extremely well signposted, and since I went on a weekday, I was almost alone. I'd describe the difficulty as easy, but you should wear sturdy footwear, as the wet ground can be slippery at times. The trail is also suitable for families with active children or dogs; there's a special path for cyclists that's also suitable for …

A very nice tour through the forest over hill and dale. A stop at the Schnellhäusel is also recommended.

Went to Bayerisch Eisenstein today. We decided on the “Bussard” circular route. This is a leisurely tour through the forest. The area around Bayerisch Eisenstein is a very beautiful hiking area with many great trails. We parked at Anton-Pech-Weg 2; this is a small parking lot right next to the playground. The path is partly very rustic with tree trunks …

My boyfriend actually wanted to go skiing on the Arber today, but it was packed there so we went hiking for a bit. We can definitely recommend the Schwellhäusl in Bayerisch Eisenstein for a stop. As a newcomer to Upper Palatinate, I was very happy about parts of the Goldsteig. We first did the Waldmausrunde and then the Buzzardrunde (or …
