Highlight • Settlement

Really idyllic, several parking spaces for hikers. Recommendation for campers is the one at the outdoor pool. The shade!

View of Prinzregent Luitpold Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Unfortunately, the tower itself cannot be climbed, but the view from the foot of the tower is also worth seeing. The Prinzregent Luitpold Tower is located on circular hiking trail 1 around Hirschbach.

Cäcilien Grotto

Highlight • Cave

On my walk, I was most impressed by the grotto itself. The ceiling must have been closed at some point, meaning it collapsed. But that only makes it more mystical now. Amazing! 😎✌️

Brettl Cliff

Highlight • Climb

The Brettl, a 30-meter-high, very beautiful rock wall, in the half-height along a narrow rock ledge horizontally, is only suitable for those who are free from giddiness.

Mittelbergwand Summit Cross and View

Highlight • Summit

Most beautiful section of the Norissteig with summit cross.
Getting into the chimney is very ambitious and requires surefootedness.
At the end of the via ferrata you will be rewarded with a great view 😎⛰️

Started this afternoon in Hirschbach. A great tour with caves, parts of the Noris Trail, and beautiful hiking trails... According to Garmin, the total elevation gain was 600 meters.

The way back, almost back to the starting point of the tour, where it goes to Hirschbach to the valley road, we couldn't find a way through tree felling work. Just somehow down was the motto.....😂🙈 But otherwise a top tour!!
The Bodenberg cave is also closed due to falling rocks, better get past it and come home safe, also …

Always a "must". One of my favorite routes in the Hirschbachtal. Not to be underestimated if you really climb all the caves.

Absolutely recommended 🟢👍✌️

Plan B? I don't have a plan B 😳! That's how I felt this morning in the bad weather 🌧️. The soggy ground prevented me from getting on my mountain bike 🚵‍♀️. The trails 😭 are too slippery, and switching to forest motorways 🛣️ is of course out of the question 😉. So I went hiking, but it had to …

That was a fantastic hike today 🏔. Although the transition to scrambling and crawling was seamless. I had been planning to do the cave hiking trail in Hirschbach for a long time, but I never thought I would do the loop in winter (?). The conditions were great, but it couldn't have been much wetter. The paths (if you can …

Great tour with the 3 as a marker. Komoot as a backup wasn't a bad idea at times. There's even a guesthouse in Neutras if needed.
