Breitensteinfensterl (rock arch)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The imposing rock with the breakthrough is definitely worth a visit. The "Fensterl" is bigger than I expected, and the view of the Bavarian Alpine foothills is sensational. Make sure …

You can read the tour report at @tourmax and @Manfred ☕, I have a GPS track 🤣 it was chilly, I sometimes wish I had Jesus's resistance to cold in winter 🥶🥶🥶 Unfortunately, the sunset behind the window didn't work, but the clouds and light atmosphere was still great 🤗

It starts from the large hiking car park (€5) in Fischbachau-Birkenstein, which is surprisingly well attended relatively early, even at this time of year.

Wow, what a compensation that was today for yesterday's battle through the snow.
I've wanted to go to Breitenstein for so long and today was the day.
We started in Birkenstein. First we went on narrow, sometimes steep forest paths to Breitensteinfensterl, where you definitely needed to be sure-footed. But the view is great. Then we continued on forest paths …
