April 5, 2025,Runde von Herzogsreut zum Haidel

Today, we took a hike from Herzogsreut to the Haidel observation tower. At 1,166 meters, the Haidel is the highest elevation in the immediate area. From its approximately 35-meter-high observation tower, you have a fantastic panoramic view.

A fantastic hike, highly recommended.
