The Oberbreitenau village ruins near Landshut House.

Only the foundation walls remain of the small, deserted mountain village of Oberbroadenau. Slowly but steadily, nature is reclaiming the plateau. Incidentally, the last farm in Oberwiesenau that was sold in 1925 was the nearby Landshuter Haus.

The Geißkopf is a paradise for bikers, but as a hiker, you live dangerously 😴
Bikers come from all directions, but unfortunately, they don't always stay on the trails, which cater to every level of difficulty.

Are going today at the bike park on trail 4, over the Geißkopf to Oberbreitenau. There we made a detour to the high moor and returned to Unterbreitenau via Einödriegel. Wonderful hiking weather, easy route!

Holiday day 1: In winter it is an attractive ski area. In the summer, the bike park is probably the main attraction. Several slopes with different levels of difficulty down and up with chairlift.
This trail is recommended for inexperienced hikers. Mostly very well prepared farm roads. There are also paths to the summit that are a bit more difficult. …

The beautiful and easy route went from Unterbreitenau to Einödriegel and back over the Geißkopf on mostly comfortable forest paths through a snowy forest landscape, briefly on footpaths. The view was severely limited by fog due to the weather.

From Unterbreitenau our route first leads past the drag lifts, then past the archery course facilities into the forest towards Habischried. …
