Goldsteig N 21 Haidmühle – Breitenberg

Haidmühle → Breitenberg

The Goldsteig runs below Haidmühle (1 km) toward the former Triftklause at the foot of the Dreisessel before leading hikers to the next ascent. The view from the summit of the Dreisessel makes the very steep section in the final third well worth the effort. After a refreshment break at the mountain hut, one of the most beautiful and interesting sections of the Goldsteig lies ahead: The Adalbert Stifter Trail takes us across the boulder field of the Steinernes Meer, with its enormous rock slabs and granite boulders. In ideal, clear weather conditions, the view from here can even extend as far as the Alps. The Goldsteig crosses the Austrian border—back in the valley—shortly after the Lackenhäuser campground. After about 8 km in Austria, hikers cross the Grenzbach stream into Bavaria, reach the Hammerschmiede at the Gegenbach, and climb part of the way up the Höpfelberg toward today’s destination, Breitenberg.
