The Schamusi-Weg from the Gänskopfhütte towards Muckenreuth is a great highlight for young and old. Many woolly little mythical creatures will accompany you on the way.

Haidenaab Spring

Highlight • River

If you are looking for the source I should move downhill for about 10 meters down the hill, next to the stone with the name you can see the water wiping out stones and moss

Rest area with a beautiful view over Eckartsreuth. Unfortunately there is a lot of rubble behind it.
