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.

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 ...

November 17, 2023,Wanderung zum Hohen Bogen

The tour begins at the valley station of the Hohebogen cable car, where there are enough parking spaces and it is an ideal starting point. The climb follows the lift path upwards, finally turning left to Berggasthof Schönblick. It's a good place to stop off and eat well, I immediately felt at home here. We continue uphill past the lift …

The former NATO towers, near Neukirchen at the Holy Blood on the Hohen Bogen, are a trip into the Cold War. You should accept the 6 euro entrance fee and the 290 steps to the tower. You will be rewarded with a fantastic panorama. (The mountain is calling)
