Enzian Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

Very nice vantage point. Incidentally, it does not always have to be the summit cross, even 50 meters further there are nice (and not overrun) places to rest and enjoy the view.

A new boardwalk has been laid in the middle of the moor, but there is also an old, rather rotten one.

On the high stone plain

Highlight • Summit

The Hochstein can be reached via two paths from the Scharebenhütte. A somewhat challenging hiking trail begins directly behind the hut. It's varied, but requires a bit more surefootedness.

December 15, 2025,Bayerischer Wald – Berghütte Schareben - Enzian Gipfelkreuz

A circular hike from the trailhead parking lot at the Schareben mountain hut to the Enzian summit cross and back. After the ascent, you reach the well-known Goldsteig premium long-distance hiking trail, which leads via the Heugstatt summit for a few more kilometers to the Enzian summit (1282 m) and then to the Enzianswies meadow. From there, a comfortable forest …

Early hike to the Heugstatt and Gentian from the Schareben!
View was overcast today, otherwise ideal hiking conditions with a steady cool breeze!
After a break on the gentian meadow, we went back to the starting point via the Schobereck!
Since I started at half past five, I was alone with nature on the whole tour! 😍🌿

Out and about in fantastic weather 🌞🌞🤩.
I'd say that crampons are still a plus. The trails were easy to walk on 👍.
But the Marderweg trail was well covered in snow, very slushy, and not well trodden.
It was a fantastic tour 🤩👍

November 6, 2025,🌞 Heugstatt - Enzian - Hochstein 🍁

To kick off our long hiking weekend, we started again from Schareben, at the request of our kids, heading towards Heugstatt. Under bright sunshine and warm temperatures, we were rewarded with a fantastic view of the misty valleys of the Bavarian and Bohemian Forests, and as a bonus, a magnificent panorama of the Alps – from the Totes Gebirge to …

The timekeeping is flawed, but the tour was uncomplicated and error-free. 😊
Free parking at the Schareben mountain hut and freely accessible toilets 🚻 gave the ideal starting signal for the hike. 🥾⛰️

Off we went to the peaks
of the Heugstatt - 1,262 m
of the Gentian - 1,285 m and
of the Hochstein - 1,134 m.
