Robber Heigl Cave

Highlight • Cave

Small, somewhat hidden cave with two chambers. It once offered shelter to the robber Michael Heigl until his hiding place was discovered through treachery.

The Kötztinger Hütte is a true hiking highlight.
In addition to delicious food and drinks, it offers a large terrace that is partly covered.

Mittagstein War Memorial Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The site features a chapel with memorial stone and cross for the fallen of the wars. Nice vantage point. View at the Kreuzfelsen but many times better.

Signpost at the Kreuzfelsen summit

Highlight • Monument

From the imposing Kreuzfelsen you have a wonderful view... A signpost shows the distance to numerous capital cities

The Kreuzfelsen is 999 meters high and part of the elongated Kaitersberg. On the rocky summit is a huge summit cross including summit book. From here you have a very good view of Bad Kötzting and the front Bavarian Forest.

September 6, 2025,Rekonvaleszenztour auf den Kaitersberg 🥾

After a rather nasty, unknown illness kept me out of action for the past few weeks, today I went for a short and not too strenuous forest bathing session to unwind 🥰.
It's actually unbelievable how much fitness can be improved in such a short time 👹.
Nevertheless, it was a wonderfully beautiful walk despite the diverse weather and light …

Almost 3 months forced break, I tested my condition. At times I thought I had mutated into a walrus during this time. Clumsy and panting. But I consoled myself because I had forgotten my beloved sticks at home. Will be again :)

Nice hike near Bad Kötzting. We started at the Reitberg hiking car park, there weren't many people around - the weather must have been to blame. Great path with lots of opportunities to rest, surefootedness is required, very rocky with a few scrapes. Will definitely go again in better weather to enjoy the view.

July 24, 2021,Wanderung zur Räuber Heigl Höhle, Mittagstein & Kötztinger Hütte, Kreuzfelsen 🥾🥷⛰🍺🍗⛰

Let's go (the voice of the KOMOOT GPS would say) from the REITENBERG hiking car park .. straight into the cooler forest .. the ascent to the cave of robber Michael Heigl has it all, hiking over partly smaller and larger rocks requires a bit more stamina and surefootedness anyway 😄 ... To be continued

July 20, 2024,Wanderung zur Kötztinger Hütte

Today we went with the junior from the Reitenberg car park to the Kreuzfelsen and then further to the Mittagstein. A few hundred metres further on, the Kötztinger Hut invites you to stop and rest.
