Dreitannenriegel summit (1,092 m)

Highlight • Summit

The summit plateau of the Dreitannenriegel is a great, spacious resting place with a shelter hut and nice outdoor seating, a fascinating summit rock, surrounded by mixed forest with a gigantic panoramic view that reaches as far as the Alps in good weather. But it is also a good place for the hiking soul to enjoy peace and serenity 👣

Breitenauriegel Summit

Highlight • Summit

From the summit of the Breitenauriegel, the view extends over the Danube valley and the fertile "Gäuboden". Incidentally, you are here at over 1,100 meters and thus on one of the highest mountains in the Bavarian Forest. Flowy trails around the summit delight the biker's heart.

The wooden hand

Highlight • Monument

Many, many years ago - the woods were even lonelier and more impenetrable - a man got lost up here. He wandered desperately around and was almost at the end of his strength, as a humpbacked woman stepped out of the woods and with a bony hand pointed his way out of the forest. And indeed: The man came home. As a thank-you, he made his pilgrimage to the small clearing year after year and, in memory of the woman, set up the wooden hand that you can still admire today. Maybe she also shows you the right way?

August 21, 2022,heimat trail TROPHY Rusel/nordic walking

After the biobike and e-bike, today we went to the conclusion of the home trail TROPHY on the Rusel, still on foot all around. For inexperienced people like me, it was sometimes crunchy. Nevertheless, I stayed a good deal short of the target time.
Let's see how the Arbertrails are like that
