Popular loop trail in the Upper Bavarian Forest Nature Park, Bavaria.
The immediate border location makes the Osser interesting - in earlier times for smugglers, today for hikers. Since 1995, the Osser can again be climbed from all four directions. The tour from Lohberg - the so-called Osser path - is marked Lo1. It starts at the Osser car park in Oberlohberg. The moderate to difficult path through the mixed mountain forest, which seems to cling to the slopes, rises steadily. Here you can feel the calm. The last part turns out to be rocky. The bizarre rock formations provide fantastic view points. When you stop at the Osserschutzhaus, the hardships are quickly forgotten. The return route through the Osserwald to Eggersberg is offered. The nature lovers finally return to Oberlohberg via the Fuchshoehle. Good basic fitness and sure-footedness as well as sturdy shoes are required. There are places to stop for refreshments at the Osserschutzhaus (Osser) and in Lohberg.
