Circular
Popular circular hiking trail in the Upper Bavarian Forest Nature Park, Bavaria.
The starting point of this circular trail around Lohberg is the tourist information centre. From there, the forest path first leads slightly downhill towards Zackermühle. Here the path makes a U-turn and continues slightly uphill towards Huberkreuz and past the leisure sports facilities. Soon afterwards, the forest path ends for a short stretch and you reach the Oberlohberg district. You pass this neighbourhood on side roads with little traffic - Kastlweg, Lindenweg and Lärchenweg. In Oberlohberg you have a beautiful view of the mountain ridge opposite with the Arber, Enzian, Heugstatt and Schwarzeck. The route then continues along a forest and meadow path through the so-called "Fuchshöhle" cave and past the Schusterkreuz cross. Here you can enjoy the marvellous panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. Shortly afterwards, you pass the "Alte Kirche" glassworks - always worth a visit here - and after a few metres you return to the starting point at the tourist information centre. Tip: About 200 metres from the glassworks is the garden of the Lohberg Fruit and Horticultural Association - you are not allowed to enter! An idyllic garden with benches where you can listen to the splashing of the glass fountain.
Highlights of the hike:
- Fox cave
- Beautiful views of the Arber and Schwarzeck, among others
- Detour to the garden of the Lohberg fruit and horticultural association
