A dream for every mountain and Bayerwaldwanderer represents the mountain ridge Kaitersberg, which rises to an altitude of 1,132 m.
Striking points along the ridge are the Plattenstein, the Kreuzfelsen, the Mittagsstein and Rauchröhren and the Große Riedelstein, which is also the highest peak of the tour.
Other special features on the ridge are the "RäuberHeigl cave", which is said to have served the legendary folk hero and rebel Michael Heigl as a shelter, and the Bavarian forest poet Maximilian Schmidt - called "Waldschmidt" - dedicated monument on the Great Riedelstein.
There are several tour combinations that open up the Kaitersberg, but they all have one thing in common: fantastic views of the Lamer Winkel and the Bavarian Forest!

We were allowed to witness a helicopter exercise. Some pictures became blurred because we had to hold all the utensils down by the wind.

In addition to its beautiful landscape, the Kaitersberg also offers one or the other highlight, such as the smoke tubes
We recommend the Kötztinger Hütte for a stop, delicious food and a very nice large terrace with a distant view
