Goldsteig N 15: Bayerisch Eisenstein – Großer Falkenstein
Today’s stage begins at the large hiking park in Bayerisch Eisenstein. Only the Local Railway Museum and the railroad tracks lie between hikers and the edge of the forest, where a signpost points the way to the Trifter-Klause Schwellhäusl (insider tip: the cozy beer garden). The Goldsteig then follows the Triftbach stream for quite a while all the way to Zwieslerwaldhaus. Right along the route is the “Watzlik-Hain” primeval forest adventure trail with its imposing giant trees. Shortly thereafter, you’ll reach Zwieslerwaldhaus with its numerous places to stop for refreshments. Also very close by: the “Wildniscamp am Falkenstein,” an international hut village in the Bavarian Forest National Park. Now the ascent begins through the primeval forest area of the Mittelsteighütte to the Ruckowitzschachten with its ancient trees. On clear days, this spot offers a beautiful view of the Bavarian Forest landscape. Passing through the mountain spruce forest, hikers finally reach the Großer Falkenstein shelter, where this stage ends.
