Holiday 💪😎 So lace up your hiking boots and up the mountain! Today again in the super beautiful Bavarian Forest National Park and once again I was not disappointed! Good hiking trails with pleasant hills, the Siebensteinkopf had little view to offer, but the Moldau source and high moor were all the more beautiful! 🤓 It's always amazing how such a small hole can create such a big river!! 🧐 In and around Bucina there are also great cycle paths, right at the stop for refreshments I even met a few racing cyclists on the very well paved paths. This will have to be explored soon 😅 All in all, a very recommendable tour! 🥾🥾🗻
Wonderful hike in dream weather. The only exit wide, graveled roads on the Czech side
Today, we weren't on our home turf with stups. Quite the opposite – we were back in the Bavarian Forest. Stups even managed to hike up the Siebenstein (1,263 m), to the source of the Vltava River on the Czech side, and admire the historic "Iron Curtain" in Buchwald. Today's kilometers also went toward my annual Heart Project, benefiting the children's hospice @stups_kinderzentrum: komoot.com/de-de/tour/2017733002 You can find the other kilometers and tours for the project in the Collection: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/collection/3336769/-herz-projekt-v-zugunsten-kinderhospiz-stups ‼️Haven't donated yet?

Boundless in the Bavarian Forest - that sums it up quite well. Because quickly you have reached the Czech border. This tour starts at the Wistlberg hiking car park in Finsterau. If you are traveling with a camper, you can also secure a pitch in the "Elsewhere" camp and start walking from here. The path markings are unmistakable on the German side. In the Czech Republic, Komoot is pretty helpful for staying on the route.
A beautiful tour through the national park, on both the German and Czech sides. Some of the paths are very small and rustic, and there are also some wider forest paths. The forest is a real jungle in places. Lots of dead wood and really dense, I find it very impressive, I hope that one day all the national parks in Germany will look like this. We also liked the many information boards and many places where you can take a break. You always have a beautiful view of the Bavarian Forest and the Bohemian Forest. A highlight of the tour was the detour to the source of the Vltava.
Today's destination was the Vltava spring. We were early enough to drive to the Schwellgraben car park and followed the Pine Marten marker almost the entire way. A short detour brought us to the Siebensteinkopf, where unfortunately there was little to see today. On the German side, the route ran along beautiful forest paths. This changed with our neighbors. Gravel roads and even asphalt to Buchwald. Wonderful place to stop at Haus Alpenblick, which was denied today due to the rain coming up. The rest of the Iron Curtain is thought-provoking... The last part was again to our liking. Root paths, meadow paths and sometimes a somewhat swampy section. Entertaining round trip. Completely lonely on the German side, a lot of cyclists on the Czech side.
Circular hike with the German-Czech border area with many highlights in beautiful hiking weather: - Reschbachklause - Siebensteinkopf - Source of the Moldau (extremely well attended today!) The paths between the Moldauquelle and Bucina are not so nice for hikers and are heavily used by mountain bikers. - Bucina with a restaurant and interesting former relics of the border fortifications - Teufelsbachklause (mystical) - Swell moat We found the uniform marking and the information panels from the Bavarian Forest / Sumava National Park with consistently German / Czech lettering to be particularly positive. Parking: Wistlberg car park (chargeable max. 6 € / day
Divine tour! Maybe it was the weather. I'd do it again anytime.

Do something good for the environment and use public transport to get to your tour:
Igelbus stop Schwellgraben
Line 603 (Finsterau bus)
Igelbus service from mid-May until the end of the Bavarian autumn holidays
