Hirschenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

With its height of 1,092 meters, Hirschenstein is one of the famous 18-thousanders in the Bavarian Forest. At the top of the summit there is a seven-meter-high masonry lookout tower. From its platform, you have a fabulous view over the mountain landscape of the Bavarian Forest and with a clear view to the Alps.

Hirschenstein Lookout Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

In the vicinity of the tower, a footpath leads to the shoe stain, in the beginning a bit difficult, probably many have to push, but then you can let the cow fly. Geiler Trail to Schuhfleck, but then not as I continue on Route 45, but take the Mühlgrabenweg.
