Augustin's Pulpit Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice, small resting place, which is especially convenient on hot days: The tree roofs protect you from above and below you can hear the water rushing. Lovely!

Wolfsteiner Ohe Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

At this point a small waterfall has formed in the Wolfsteiner Ohe. It's very nice how the ice-cold water flows over the rocks.

Buchberger Leite Rock Tunnel

Highlight • Cave

Rock breakthrough / tunnel from WWII. On the right side of the river, a path went up to the rock. Nice view, but be careful: there are no more railings!

Unfortunately, as stated, the bus rarely or never runs. So we had to take a taxi. If we had known this beforehand, we would not have chosen this tour.

September 2, 2026,Bayer.Wald: Buchberger Leite von Freyung nach Ringelai (talwärts)

The tour has been on our list for a long time. Upon arrival in Ringelai, we spontaneously teamed up with another hiking couple, left one vehicle in Ringelai, and drove the other to Freyung. This made the tour downhill. Both smart decisions - as it turned out. The magnificent hike through the Buchberger Leite was ideal as a start-of-autumn tour …

A very beautiful hike in almost untouched nature. In some places, certain surefootedness is required due to roots and rocky terrain. Appropriate footwear is recommended for safety reasons, especially during or after rainy weather. Otherwise, it's an easy hike, especially on hot summer days, as you'll always be hiking in cool shade.

Super nice, recommendable tour. You should be sure-footed, as there are many roots and stones. Away from the streets, you only hear nature.
We parked in Freyung and then wanted to take the bus back. Unfortunately, we realized too late that most bus connections are only available via dial-a-bus.

Beautiful gorge trail with countless highlights such as suspension bridges, a pedestrian tunnel and a magnificent river landscape. However, it is only partially possible to do it with public transport. Good planning and enough time is required.

All inns in Ringelai are currently closed. Otherwise this is a very nice tour. The water is rushing all the time. There are waterfalls, you go through a cave and over a suspension bridge.

The entire hike is a highlight. Especially nice now in autumn. Unfortunately, almost all caffees are closed. Be sure to stop at the Schnitzmühle on the way back if you are already driving past .......
