On the way up the Jägersteig there are always fantastic views of the Alps, the Auerbergland and the Pfaffenwinkel.

The ascent from Bernbeuren to the Auerberg through the Feuerstein Gorge and the adjoining Jägersteig trail is a popular hike in the western Pfaffenwinkel region. The wildly romantic lower section of the trail mostly follows the stream, while further up it frequently crosses small footbridges from one side of the stream to the other.

The mountain was occupied by Roman settlers – both civilian and military – in the second decade of AD (from approximately 13/14 AD) and abandoned again after 40 AD. With its fortified settlement, located at an extremely high elevation by Roman standards and exposed to the elements, its unusually short period of occupation of only one generation, its complex building structures, and an incredibly rich, high-quality find material, some of which was imported from far away, the mountain is of utmost importance for the archaeology and history of not only the southern German Alpine foothills in the early 1st century AD.

The trail leads through the wild and romantic Feuerstein Gorge along a babbling stream, which at one point turns into a waterfall. The paths lead over countless roots, steps, footbridges, and stairs.
