Goldsteig N 11 Furth im Wald – Schönbuchen
Beyond Furth im Wald lies the Hohe Bogen. Here, hikers face one of the steepest ascents on the Goldsteig, stretching about one kilometer. As a reward, a short break at Burgstall offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Chamb Valley and far into Bohemia. The trail then continues to the Hohenbogen mountain hut, and after a well-deserved stop, it heads downhill toward the south toward Grafenwiesen/Schönbuchen at the foot of the Kaitersberg. An alternative (long-distance hiking trail E6) would be to hike over the Osser starting from the Hohenbogen mountain hut: Day 1: to the Hohenbogen mountain lodge; Day 2: down into the valley and up the Osser on the opposite side; Day 3: from the Osser to the Arber. With this option, the route then continues along the Goldsteig trail. Time-wise, this doesn’t add much extra time—hikers simply replace stages N12 and N13 here.
