    Hiking

    With its height of 1,092 meters, Hirschenstein is one of the famous 18-thousanders in the Bavarian Forest. At the top of the summit there is a seven-meter-high masonry lookout tower. From its platform, you have a fabulous view over the mountain landscape of the Bavarian Forest and with a clear view to the Alps.

    Hiking


    The Hirschenstein summit with its 1,095 m, its exposed location and the 7 m high lookout tower offers a view that is unique in the Bavarian Forest. In the east it extends from the Großer Arber to the Dreisessel, in the south you can see the area from Deggendorf to Straubing and in the west to the Gallner. On favorable days, the Alps from the Dachstein to the Zugspitze can be seen unhindered.
