April 21, 2023,Rund um den Geißkopf

Holiday day 1: In winter it is an attractive ski area. In the summer, the bike park is probably the main attraction. Several slopes with different levels of difficulty down and up with chairlift.
This trail is recommended for inexperienced hikers. Mostly very well prepared farm roads. There are also paths to the summit that are a bit more difficult. …

The magic forest then invites you to explore the wood carvings. The Landshuter Haus is currently …

The Geißkopf is a paradise for bikers, but as a hiker, you live dangerously 😴
Bikers come from all directions, but unfortunately, they don't always stay on the trails, which cater to every level of difficulty.
