On this easy tour we discover a real jungle area, the Hans-Watzlik-Hain, with the largest fir in the Bavarian Forest and other huge old trees. The Schwellhäusl entices you to stop with Bavarian-Bohemian cuisine and is idyllically located on the Schmalzbach threshold. The path leads over the Hochbergsattel and through…

Hans Watzlik Grove (Old‑Growth Forest)

Highlight • Forest

In the Hans-Watzlik-Hain no forestry is operated in the classical sense and the flora is left to itself. Fallen and uprooted trees, lightning strike and large broken branches testify to …

July 22, 2021,2021 - Deutschland - Bayrischer Wald - Von Bayrisch Eisenstein durch das Urwaldgebiet, den Schwellsteig und den Watzlik-Hain

That was a nice, easy to walk tour from Bayrisch Eisenstein. The highlights: the Watzlik-Hain, the Schwellhäusl and the Schwellsteig. Theoretically, you could have included the jungle trail in the tour... but you have to have a reason to come back.

October 26, 2024,Rundweg Bussard - Von Bayerisch Eisenstein zum Schwellhäusl

The boy wanted to do a "fog tour" today (for whatever reason 😅), but unfortunately it didn't work out because we had great weather on our "Bussard" round trip 🌞🌲
The tour officially starts in B.Eisenstein and leads over the Hochbergsattel to the Schwellhäusl and after a delicious lunch over the iron cross back to the hiking car park (free …

The tour is extremely well signposted, and since I went on a weekday, I was almost alone. I'd describe the difficulty as easy, but you should wear sturdy footwear, as the wet ground can be slippery at times. The trail is also suitable for families with active children or dogs; there's a special path for cyclists that's also suitable for …

A very nice tour through the "primeval forest" of the Bavarian Forest. This round tour starts at the train station with the buzzard sign and the reference to the Schwellhäusl. There are specially marked trails for hikers and cyclists. Please sturdy shoes and possibly sticks, which are advantageous when going downhill as the paths are criss-crossed with roots. Have fun …

A very nice tour through the forest over hill and dale. A stop at the Schnellhäusel is also recommended.

October 1, 2023,Rundweg Bussard

Went to Bayerisch Eisenstein today. We decided on the “Bussard” circular route. This is a leisurely tour through the forest. The area around Bayerisch Eisenstein is a very beautiful hiking area with many great trails. We parked at Anton-Pech-Weg 2; this is a small parking lot right next to the playground. The path is partly very rustic with tree trunks …
