Man and Nature Adventure Trail in the Buchberger Leite – Bavarian Forest

Hiking

The hiking area around the Buchberger Leite, which is under landscape protection, is one of the most impressive gorge landscapes in the Bavarian Forest. The supra-regional importance of the Buchberger Leite is demonstrated by the seal of approval "Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes" awarded by the Bavarian Ministry of the Environment. You will need sturdy shoes for the hike along the Saußbach and Wolfsteiner Ohe streams, as you will partly walk over stones and roots.

You start at the car park of the Freyung outdoor pool and initially hike along the Saußbach, passing a small reservoir. Then you change to the Wolfsteiner Ohe - in the Wildbachklamm the forces of nature are impressively visible. You can also marvel at a special flora and fauna here.

In the Buchberger Leite the dark pile slates are particularly massive and attractive. Past Wiedes Carbidwerk, where you cross a rock tunnel, you come to a suspension bridge over the Wolfsteiner Ohe and a little later you reach your destination in Ringelai. You can take the bus back to Freyung and, if necessary, stop at the Landhotel Brodinger.

Augustin's Pulpit Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice, small resting place, which is especially convenient on hot days: The tree roofs protect you from above and below you can hear the water rushing. Lovely!

Wolfsteiner Ohe Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

At this point a small waterfall has formed in the Wolfsteiner Ohe. It's very nice how the ice-cold water flows over the rocks.

Rock breakthrough / tunnel from WWII. On the right side of the river, a path went up to the rock. Nice view, but be careful: there are no more railings!

Wonderful hike and great opportunity to cross the bridge to change sides. Little bit of adventure on the swaying bridge! 😃

Unfortunately, as stated, the bus rarely or never runs. So we had to take a taxi. If we had known this beforehand, we would not have chosen this tour.

A very beautiful hike in almost untouched nature. In some places, certain surefootedness is required due to roots and rocky terrain. Appropriate footwear is recommended for safety reasons, especially during or after rainy weather. Otherwise, it's an easy hike, especially on hot summer days, as you'll always be hiking in cool shade.

Super nice, recommendable tour. You should be sure-footed, as there are many roots and stones. Away from the streets, you only hear nature.
We parked in Freyung and then wanted to take the bus back. Unfortunately, we realized too late that most bus connections are only available via dial-a-bus.

Beautiful gorge trail with countless highlights such as suspension bridges, a pedestrian tunnel and a magnificent river landscape. However, it is only partially possible to do it with public transport. Good planning and enough time is required.

The Wildbachklamm Buchberger Leite is a wildly romantic, primeval gorge landscape. It was awarded the seal of approval "Bavaria's most beautiful geotopes" by the Bavarian Ministry of the Environment.

Our hike begins at the hiking car park in Ringelai and ends shortly before Freyung at the reservoir. Bus route 101 (Freyung - Ringelai - Perlesreut) runs between the starting point …

All inns in Ringelai are currently closed. Otherwise this is a very nice tour. The water is rushing all the time. There are waterfalls, you go through a cave and over a suspension bridge.

The entire hike is a highlight. Especially nice now in autumn. Unfortunately, almost all caffees are closed. Be sure to stop at the Schnitzmühle on the way back if you are already driving past .......
