Bubbling Spring on the Ohe River

Highlight • Natural Monument

I had never seen such a spring that literally bubbles out of the ground. It seems as if the surrounding water collects in an underground channel that ends right here and pushes the water upwards almost like a fountain.

Wonderful hike and great opportunity to cross the bridge to change sides. Little bit of adventure on the swaying bridge! 😃

Buchberger Leite Rock Tunnel

Highlight • Cave

Rock breakthrough / tunnel from WWII. On the right side of the river, a path went up to the rock. Nice view, but be careful: there are no more railings!

We really liked the first part. Unfortunately, a longer stretch is directly on the road, where the cars also drive quite fast. That's not so nice with the dogs. There are enough cooling and drinking possibilities for the dogs on the way, so you don't have to take them with you.

The start of the tour is magical. A beautiful tour along the river with moss-covered stones and trees, nice and shady with pleasant humidity.

The suspension bridge is a small highlight and comes with a natural rest area.

The bubbling spring is also something you don't get to see very often.

Today my sweetheart came to visit. I was happy to do the beautiful hike through the Wildbachklamm with him again. 🥰
And this time it wasn't as wet and slippery as last time, but the wild river had almost become a gentle stream. 😉
And the tour was really beautiful and varied this time too, with forests, meadows, gorges, climbs, …

October 16, 2023,Bayerischer Wald:Wildbachklamm Buchberger Leite ab Aigenstadl

Start at the hiking car park at the Aigenstadl/Freyung carbide plant. Take the passage through the factory, then follow the signs in the curve on the right. The path meanders along the slope, sometimes more and sometimes less rocky and rooty, idyllically and requires sure-footedness. Cross the gorge at the suspension bridge and follow the path to Ringelai (parking lot …
