Small, fine hike in the family circle, leisurely up and then the steep slope and finally the rapid toboggan run back down.
Oh yes ... of course there are also reports of legends including dragons ...

Definitely not with 🚠 up 🤪,.. the way up is not as demanding as you think, has many fairy tale panels 🧌 and beautiful views. Bärenriegel doesn't really have a view of the tower at the top .. Eckstein is nicer there 👍. NATO towers: I think the € 6.00 are definitely worth it 🤩🥳 and it's a funny feeling …

May 1, 2025,Runde Neukirchen b. Hl.Bl. vom Schönblick über die Höhen

Almost only beautiful forest paths, gorgeous views, and something to eat every few meters 👍😃
...I just got a little off the path at Schwarzriegel after 3.5km 😅 and ended up in the bushes.

April 28, 2022,Runde von Neukirchen b. Hl. Blut (Parkmöglichkeit für 2 Autos) - Berghaus Schönblick - Berghaus Hohenbogen - Eckstein - Diensthütte Hohenbogen - Talstation Sessellift und zurück

A strenuous ascent is rewarded with a stop at the Schönblick mountain hut with a wonderful view. Unfortunately the viewing platform of the former NATO listening post Communications Sector F was closed for maintenance.
