Demanding, mystical (fog) mountain hike to the Großer Falkenstein with a considerable difference in altitude on partly steep forest or meadow paths and rustic paths in the Bavarian Forest National Park. From the Zwieseler Waldhaus/P Schillerstraße we follow the WW Ameise, cross the Steinbach and turn right at the next fork onto a slightly uphill forest path (WW Goldsteig and …

February 21, 2025,PMH-332 — Foikastoa-Tour... the last day of 34...

As the title suggests, today we went to the Great Falkenstein. We started from the Zwieslerwaldhaus hiking car park (equipped with crampons) along the "Eibe" hiking trail to the Kleiner and then to the Grosser Falkenstein. We cheekily "skipped" the summit of the Kleiner Falkenstein. I wasn't entirely comfortable with the scramble up the icy rock with my crampons. From …

If the Höllbachgespreng is closed because of the falcon brood, this tour is highly recommended. At the tree throwing path you can see how long it takes for wood to decompose. The storm low Kyrill was in 2007. The Falkenstein is great, you have a wonderful view. Unfortunately, the shelter was not open.
