Rest Area and Information Board SalzAlpenSteig

Highlight • Rest Area

The very well signposted SalzAlpenSteig is always worth a detour. It connects the regional salt regions via partly historic brine pipelines.

Speikbach

Highlight • River

A small mountain stream with a big specialty. The stream bed has silted up for around 100 meters, so that the river basically flows underground and then suddenly comes out of nowhere.

April 30, 2025,Speikbach – Weißbachtal Runde von Bayerisch Gmain 🥾🌞

Out and about on foot again today. From the Bayrisch Gmain hiking car park, I took the Maisidyill Trail through a beautiful forest path. Then I continued back along the Speikbach Loop (also part of the Soleleitungsweg). The path to the Speikbach then led over roots and rocks, truly beautiful. A very pleasant hike, and one that allows you to …

Let's describe it with music. We start with a moderate Adagio until we reach the first rest stop and the railway bridge. Then the tempo changes to a brisk Andante, always beautifully along the river, our breathing changes from piano to at least mezzoforte. Passing countless cairns, we begin with a short Moderato. We could have added a Da Capo …

Accompanied by the Speikbach, you climb steadily up to the waterfall. Looking into the pools, the many flowers and up to the rock faces, I constantly paused the tour recording because there is so much to see! Simply beautiful.

Explored a new tour on Good Friday. Was planned as a long walk with the dog. But it was exciting and really promising. The gorge with its pools has something. The actual path over the bridge at the end is no longer accessible because it was washed away.
Otherwise a nice little tour

Beautiful and challenging hiking trail in the mountains between Bavaria and Austria. We recommend. Surefootedness and endurance should be present. The route is actually around 5.6 km long, unfortunately Komoot didn't record it correctly.

Woke up this morning at 5.30am, checked the weather and suddenly the terrace is wet.
Although rain should be for later. The higher peaks were gone anyway and so we went to the mountains with a rain jacket in the early dew.
The parking lot at the cemetery in Groß Gmain is also a parking lot for hikers.
From there …
