In the vicinity of the tower, a footpath leads to the shoe stain, in the beginning a bit difficult, probably many have to push, but then you can let the cow fly. Geiler Trail to Schuhfleck, but then not as I continue on Route 45, but take the Mühlgrabenweg.

The Hirschensteingipfel with its 1,095 m, its exposed location and the 7 m high observation tower gives a unique view in the Bavarian Forest. In the east it extends from the Großer Arber to the Dreisessel, in the south the area from Deggendorf to Straubing and in the west to the Gallner can be seen. On favorable days, the Alps from the Dachstein to the Zugspitze can be seen unimpeded - a visit is always worthwhile 😉

Distant view from the Hirschenstein with the observation tower
The Hirschensteingipfel with its 1,095 m, its exposed location and the 7 m high observation tower gives a unique view in the Bavarian Forest. In the east it extends from the Großer Arber to the Dreisessel, in the south the area from Deggendorf to Straubing and in the west to the Gallner can be seen. On favorable days, the Alps from the Dachstein to the Zugspitze can be seen unimpeded.

The Schuhfleck - hiking trail knot
Nine hiking trails meet here from all directions and places such as: Kalteck, Bernried, Grandsberg, Rettenbach and St. Englmar.
From Schuhfleck to Hirschenstein, hikers can choose from four paths.
The lookout tower - a distinguishing feature
It was built in 1921 by the Munich Section of the Bavarian Forest Association. A service for all far-viewers are the notices attached to the tower railing a few years ago by the Bavarian Forest Section Mitterfels with the objects to be recognized by the tower and their distances.

The high valley Achslach-Lindenau
is embedded in extensive forests around the mountains: Hirschenstein (1,095 m), Kälberbuckel (1,053 m), Rauher Kulm (1,050 m), Vogelsang (1,022 m) and Schusterstein (998 m).

Therefore, the holiday area is ideal for hiking and long walks. Use this opportunity to explore the beautiful landscape.
