April 5, 2024,Nationalpark Tour von Zwiesel - Spiegelhütte - Rakowitz Schachten - Gipfel Gr. Falkenstein - Lindbergmühle - Zwiesel

A lovely, leisurely tour through the national park with a stop at the Falkensteinhütte. It is not technically demanding as it is only on forest roads. All hiking trails in the national park are closed to cyclists. The route can be ridden with any bike.

Today for a change the four of us visited the big Falkenstein in fantastic weather!
Started in Kreuzstrassl at the hiking car park, first in the direction of Spiegelhütte, then past the Scheuereck to the beautiful Albrechts and Ruckowitz shafts and up to the large Falkenstein with a stop and an extensive stay at the summit with a fantastic view! …

In itself a very nice tour with impressive views. However, you can confidently give yourself the route along the Kolbersbach. Unless you stand on nettles on your lower legs. 😉
