Käsplatte Summit

Highlight • Summit

At the top of the 973-meter-high cheese platter, besides the breathtaking view, an unusual sight awaits you: the summit is littered with huge boulders - clearly an extraordinary mountain for the Bavarian Forest.

Prellerhaus

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A stop at the Prellerhaus is definitely worth it. In addition to a quaint little tavern, delicious regional food and friendly service staff await you.

Sweden Cross and Columbus Stone

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful rock with a double cross, a Swedish cross from 1635. However, there is no view from here. If you search a little more while scrambling, you will also discover Columbus' egg.

September 1, 2025,Aussichtsreiche Wanderung zur „steinreichen“ Käsplatte

A very beautiful, varied tour with magnificent views and comfortable rest stops, but also some strenuous climbs, especially in the "Käsplatte" area. Plenty of roots and rocky sections require sturdy footwear and a good level of fitness. For those less confident, I recommend hiking poles for support. The distant views from the Pröller and the Käsplatte are breathtakingly beautiful in …

February 1, 2025,Zwei Gipfelkreuze Winterwanderung: Pröller & Käsplatte

A highlight winter hike like something out of a picture book with two summit crosses, sun and snow - what more could you want on a short vacation in the Bavarian Forest?!
The hike starts and ends at the Sankt Englmar hiking car park and takes us past the Räuber Heigl cave right at the beginning and up to the …

August 15, 2021,Parkplatz – Pröller - Käsplatte

The path is not particularly challenging. The gradients are moderate and so is the level of difficulty. From the parking lot, the path climbs steadily up to the Proeller.

On the Proeller then a nice view towards Viechtach. The path to the cheese platter then continues. Turn right around the mountain and follow the cheese platter down again. Past the …

The tour is easy to walk, with few paved trails and many forest paths. It's also suitable for summer as you walk through a lot of coniferous forest. The route is too long for elementary school children; a shorter tour just to the cheese platter would be more interesting, for example, starting from the Hinterwies hiking car park.

Our final day of hiking in the Bavarian Forest takes us first to the Pröller 1048m. In this area there are lots of sayings by H.W. that will put a smile on your face or just make you think.
The cheese platter later offers a beautiful view, which we enjoyed during a break. On the way back to the car …
